HELP PLEASE!!!

Post by lavaman »

ok guys a posted a thread about my car stalling maybe a month ago... at that time it would stall maybe about once a day... no its WORSE than ever... everytime i dont have the ac on and i put it into gear the thing stalls out, but when i put the ac on it doesnt stall but the RPMS drop dramatically... this sometimes happens at stoplights as well... i think it could be a vacuum leak but i dont know how to test for one of them... also, i heard that it could be the gasket for the TB... any help would be great...

To check for vacuum leaks, spray some starter fluid all around your intake elbow and vacuum hoses. If there's a leak, your engine will rev. Have you checked your disty? That's a common part that goes out alot.

If it doesn't stall with the a/c on then it is most likely your ISC motor. When you turn on the a/c that kicks up the idle. I would start there.
