Got a question about my idle
Ok well I recently bought a 1985 firebird 2.8 V6. Anyways it runs perfectly fine, and when starting it up I dont have a problem. But when I start driving it the check engine light comes on at about 35mph and when I stop at a stop light the idle seems to be pretty bad. Anyone know what might be causing this?

The Cadillac converter could be shot, all clogged up causing the motor to choke, check that and tell if thats it
