86 stalls when warm

Post by mdj14 »

I've gotten my $100 investment almost road worthy. I need your help getting it the rest of the way. It runs great actually. The only problem is that it will shut off when coming to a stop. This is more apparent as the engine gets warmer. Even so, it starts right up with a turn of the key and drives like a champ. Any help?

Check for vacuum leaks first. Spray carb. cleaner around the intake manifold/throttle body area and all the vacuum hoses you can find. Do this slowly and accurately while listening for any changes in RPM. If you don't find any leaks then post back and we will try something else.
