Hey guys,

Thanks for all the help getting the car started again!...now it just won't stay running without my foot on the gas.

Decided to start a new thread for the new problem. Search didn't quite provide what I was looking for so here I am. Quick background...

1984 Pontiac Trans Am. Last year I installed a new 350, bored .040, new edelbrock intake, World Sportsman II heads, 3" catback, hooker 2055 emissions legal shorties, newish (2 years old then) CC Qjet from Jet performance products. I have a 700R4 with the stock torque converter.

I can't keep the car running. I fires up and sounds good and will drive, but as soon as I let my foot off the gas it idles down and dies. Yesterday it would idle for 2-5 minutes before dying. Now it just drops off and dies. This is in park...not even putting a load on the motor. I even cranked the idle screw in several times each time I started it but nothing...even when the screw is turned all the way in. Is there anything you guys can think of that would cause this?

Some things I've been told,

--Possibly the Torque converter has gone bad/need to upgrade to higher stall (but problem is even when in park?)

--Possibly needs a new EGR valve

--Dump the Qjet and go holly (need emissions stuff on car so can't do that)

--Go back to old carb (I have my old carb, only thinkg I would have to change is the secondaries out of the new carb into the old)

Funny thing is, before I started havin the non-starting issue (bad plugs, plug wires, lack of fuel to motor), it ran relatively good (well enough for a Dyno Shop to dyno it and say it was running good, even the Air/Fuel mixture was near perfect) and the only time it would stall out is when driving and slowing down and stopping at a stop light (which led to the Torque Converter theory)

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!
