Hi, I'm hoping for some advice on fixing this stalling problem. Some background: this was an automatic tranny car which I got last year and my son and I switched it over to manual. Its been great, shifts fine, plenty of power, a real joy to drive. The idle speed has always been high (1200 rpms) which isn't a crisis but kind of annoying since everything else works fine. So this weekend I decided to take a look and found that the tang on the throttle linkage which is controlled by the dashpot had been bent to prevent the idle speed from dropping to its proper setting. OK fine, so we bent the tang back so the idle now drops down to around 750 rpms. However now the car dies when you pull up to a stop. So apparently a prior owner might have bent the tang to solve the stalling problem but I'd like to figure out what's actually happening here. Do you think that its a dashpot/check valve problem that the idle might be dropping too fast at stop so the car stalls? A dirty throttle body? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
