my 88 tpi 5.7 stalls about once every 2 days when i put it into gear. Should i worry about that? And any suggestions of what to do?

 

Could be many things. Does your check engine light come on ever? If not I would suspect that the bulb needs replacing, then you may be able to retrieve some error codes to remedy the problem. I would say its most likely a sensor problem. How does the car idle in park(and at what rpms?) after you start it?

 

the car idles at about 1300 when i start it and then drops to about 700 after a minute or two. the engine light does come on after IT STALLS.

 

Are you able to retrieve any error codes? Find out here: https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/faq/thirdgen.shtml

at the very bottom of the page.

Does this every happen after the car has been sufficiently warmed up? Any other problems like a rough idle?

 

well unfortunately i dont have a tester yet sop i dont know if any codes are coming up but the car runs fine otherwise. the idle is constant speed all the time.

 

well, actualy i bet u do have a tester, all u need is a paper clip.

does it only stall when the engine is cold? or all the time?
