low idle / stall problems
k so i just got it back from shop, had to have a rear differential rebuild. My problem is that the car idles really rough (some points coming close to stalling) and when i go to accelerate on a hill (either backing out of my drive way or going forward in the coldersack i live in it stalls but starts up again when i restart it. could this be a bad fuel filter or there something else, car is a 89 camaro rs with 305 engine TBI.

If the battery was disconnected for any reason your IAC may have to relearn it's settings.

Re: low idle / stall problems
bad fuel filter seemed to of been the issue, had it swapped out and now car runs fine, i still think the issues i had the other day where a result of me unhooking battery, i forgot how those ECU s can be, but it seems everything is ok now. I just need to tighten the Tie rod bars and ball joints a bit and car should be good for most part.
