Stall, Need Expert Help
Calling all experts..
My car stalls at 1/2 to 3/4 of the way to the floor when the engine is cold. After about 170 deg it runs ok. Sounds like one of those questions that someone may know immediatly whats wrong. I had a few recommendations on things to test but havnt had a chance yet. Maybe Sunday I'll get to it. What occurs after this temperature that would cause it to start functioning ok? What is the closed loop thing someone mentioned? I need to get this corrected before I install the nitrous. Thanks again for your help.

it seems alot of people had this specific problem before winter i remember, including me... i no one really had a direct answer. After about 165 degrees, my vette would run like a champ, but until then, it would chug along upon accerleration...

Still not yet fixed. I noticed something new. The other day it seemed to be idling at around 800rpm when I first start her up. It then dropped to 600rpm as the engine warmed up. Is that normal? I believe 600rpm is the correct idling speed. Just another peice of the puzzle.
