Engine stalls and shuts off at low PRM's

I just bought my 1987 camaro iroz about a month and now my car stalls at low rpms and sometimes it shutsoff. What can i do to fix that problem?
is it a simple problem? expensive to fix?

Could be any number of things. does it run fine if you drive it or act up all the time? Need to kjnow more about the car. Engine, fuel injection/carb, etc. etc.

Re: Engine stalls and shuts off at low PRM's

i have a v8 5.0 fuel inject.
The car runs fine while i drive it, when i stop at a stop light or stop sign or while i wait for a red light to change green, the car wants to die out but sometimes it does and sometimes it dosent.
also sometimes after i stop and then take off and gas pedal gets stuck so when i press down on it to get it unstuck the engine stalls for a couple seconds and revs fine and good take off......i heard it could be the throttle body of why the gas pedal gets stuck
