Car Stalling All The Time!!!!

Just recently, my car has been stalling majorly. Whenever I come to a stop, it dies. I have to stick the car in neutral and rev it to keep it alive. Any ideas??? Just put new plugs in a month ago. Just got a new carb and intake too. Wires may be suspect.

Check those wires ! How old is your ignition coil ? Have you changed your cap and rotor ? Go out at night and crank your motor . Look at your wires and coil ? Do you see the wires or coil glowing , if so you need new wires if they are glowing if coil glows , need new coil also . When I say glowing I mean arcing out , you will see a little blue spark . Check your fuel pressure. Whens the last time you changed your fuel filter ? I hope your fuelpump isnt going out .Start with these things , then we will take it from there Your fuel injectors might even need a good cleaning .

Thank you for the suggestions. I never thought of all of that. I don't have fuel injection so I prolly don't have to worry about that. But I will definitely check the other things. Thanks!
