Car Stalls out.

[coxm]

Hey guys,

Ive got a question for you.

When I first start my car up after its sat overnight or a long period of time, it idels rough bouncing between 5 and 7000 rpms.
Now if that wernt enough of a headache, it stalls out if you dont continualy giveit gas. Even if i take it out an drive a bit, the first ten minutes or so ive if i come to a stop, i have to switch it in neutral and rev it up a bit. Any ideas as to what the problem may be and how i go about fixxing it ?

Well since no one else is answering I'll take a stab at it. Are you sure the throttle isn't sticking? If it's a TPI car you might take the throttle body off and clean it out real good, and check/replace the idle air control motor. After that I would try to get a scantool to see what the computer is doing to it.

:cool:

Is it a carbruetor?

It could actually be the alternator. If it isn't putting out enough power, it won't be able to keep it steady. I had that happen for a few weeks until the car finally died... the alternator went. When it was replaced, it worked perfectly... problem solved. This prolly isn't your cause... but just a thought.

I dunno. I'm still trying to learn about all this computer and injected shit. But that really sounds like what a carb vehicle would do w/o the choke. So yea, if that in any way or form can help...there ya go...
