idle/stalling etc...

[koabi@seeohdee.com (koabi)]

I would pull the idle stabilizer valve and clean it out.  It can get
pretty nasty inside.  I would also clean the plugs to make sure the
connection to it is good.  If you need a quick fix you probably could
disconnect it and loosen the idle screw a bit.

Now that I think of it, my idle switch wasn't working very consistently
and that caused me some idle headaches as well (I think that was the
problem.. it has been a while)

Well, just when I was starting to be surprised at how long my car had
been 
running without problems, it started stalling today.  It won't idle
without 
my foot on the gas.  I had been getting an irratic idle the past couple
of 
days, ranging from 250 rpm's to 2300 rpms, but it didn't stall until
today, 
and I haven't gotten around to checking it out.  it seems to rev fine
still, 
it just won't hold an idle.  What should I look for other than vaccum
leaks, 
and is there a way to find vaccum leaks other than inspecting all the
lines 
for cracks, etc.?

TIA
