car dies at idle somestimes
hello got a 91 rs 305 tbi auto that i just got, and sometimes it stalls when at a red light or pulling in to park and then check engine light comes on. the last owner removed some of the AIR components and egr valve. but the smog pump is on there still. there is no blocking plates on anything. it runs fine and idles fine. has brand new fuel pump and distributor. the check engine light will come on sometimes after driving for awhile but if its not idling it wont die. any thoughts?

The SES light doesn't stay on when checking codes, it flashes almost like morse code. Go here and it will tell you how to do what Ransford is talking about:

the code it gave me was 32 egr system failure. checked the map sensor and where it connects to the throttle body wasn't fully on there but sorta was so maybe that will fix my situation thanks!
