Doesn't want to idle
1988 Iroc, 350/700R4. Bone stock, rebuilt. TPI
Long story short, if I come to a stop at a red and just take my foot off the gas she will stall out. Little sputter and notta.
Not sure why she doesn't idle, but she starts everytime. I did notice that on startup though she blows blue.
Ideas?

Re: Doesn't want to idle
the stalling of the car at stop lights sounds like the TPS is out of adjustment or needs to be replaced, the blowing blue would be your burning oil from either bad valve guides or bad ring sealing.
