Re: Stalling!!!

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

You need to troubleshoot three fuel subsystems. They are 
1) the lambda enrichment system (should here the frequency valve 
buzzing like a mad cricket with the motor running)
2) the cold start valve ( If the motor runs good hot it probably has
a 
problem)
3) the idle motor circuit (make sure it has power and the idle switch 
is working, check it with a meter)
If these hints don't help check for a vacum leak ie; a disconnected 
hose, loose fittings, etc. also there are 3 adjustment screws on the 
metering body MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY SET and that there is a
plug 
in the metering body over the mixture screw.
