Stalling issue with 91...
My 1991 has devolped a stalling issue. When I roll up to lights, or stop signs the engine will sometimes die. If I re-start the car, it will sit and idle forvever with no problems. When it is about to die at at a light, I can save it by pressing the gas. However, I have to keep my foot on the throttle and hold it open at about 5% to keep it from stalling.
To me it almost acted like it had a vacuum leak, but that's been checked out and is not the problem. I just did headers and removed the O2 sensor. I didn't think I touched the sensor, but maybe it got contaminated somehow. I also recently installed a Mallory Hyfire ignition. I don't think the ignition is the problem, the car ran fine for about 2 weeks after the igntion install.
Thoughts?

When I installed the headers a couple weeks ago I deleted the EGR system. I'll have to look at my home made block of plate to see if it's leaking a little. Thansk for the tips guys!
