Default 1984 Crossfire keeps stalling at low speed

Been chasing this issue for a while.



The car runs great otherwise, starts right up every time and pulls strong. No codes except Code 12.



I replaced both IACs recently and that got rid of the strong fuel smell, so it definitely helped.



My problem now is that every once in a while, when I’m just creeping through a parking lot or slowing way down, the RPM drops and the car stalls.



TPS checks out fine at 0.49V closed and 4.61V WOT.



Anyone run into something similar?

thanks 🙏🏼

Unplug the egr valve and go drive it. If the egr solenoid is bypassing a little it could cause it to stall.

Default Egr

Do you mean unplug the vacuum line from the EGR valve, or unplug the electrical connector from the EGR solenoid?

thanks again

Had similar issues with my '84. Turned out the EGR valve itself was bad. I was having throttle tip in hesitation and stalling when lifting off the gas pedal. New EGR valve and IAC's along with chasing down all vacuum leaks fixed everything. Been running great ever since. Here is a link to my original post.

I'd unplug the egr valve vacuum connection, you could go as far as hooking up a vacuum gauge to it to verify if it is getting vacuum at idle (which it shouldn't).
