Right now, my 2.8 is starting just fine, but after it starts, the RPMs tank and the engine stalls. In order to get it started and stay running, I have to hit the gas while the RPM are dropping and rev it up, which makes for a really, really rough rev, but after that the RPMs sit at a normal level and the idle seems fine. Then the car is fine for the rest of the day (unless it's left sitting for hours between rides).

Is this a vaccum line problem?

 

It could always be, Check your vacumelines and replace them if needed (always good to replace vacumelines that need to be replaced )

 

clean the cold start injector! i had that problem a while ago in mine. had to keep butterflying the throttle til it got up to temp like my mustang without a choke.

 

I'd also say
IS IT TIME TO
replace your oxygen sensor?
That does seem to also control fuel, which could also be your trouble.
I only have stalling trouble as a I keep pulling out of one certain parking lot. I attribute it to lack of "fast run" to the exit. I just putter to the parking lot exit, turn the wheel and it tends to always stall.
I can't wait to change my oxy sensor & add the new CC to see if this problem will continue.
Yeah I know I can always shop elsewhere!

 

gee karl, i can't understand with all that weight of tile in your car, mine would stall too. who ever said that F-bodies weren't better than trucks too!
like the both of us said, there could be a number of things that are going wrong. start with the least expensive and the eaisest and then work to the more costly and time consuming

This is what 87blueracr is talking about!

29 boxes of tiles, 11, 12" inch tiles per box plus a 50 pound bag of cement. I was afraid to carry more cement!

 

Is that whats refered to as a "Lowrider"?

How's that shower tile job going?
