Subject: stalling situation
Content-Type: text/html
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>hi everybody,</DIV>
<DIV>for the last three years now i have have had this interesting stalling problem. it has never been anything that worried me too much but i thought i would throw it out here for some advice.</DIV>
<DIV>i always warm up my 90 gl before driving. let's say first warm up about five minutes (winter time ten minutes) and every other time throughout the day about 1-2 minutes. well, for some reason if i go to work and i have been there about 10 hours i will start my van and give her about 3 minutes. i put her in reverse and back up. as soon i back up and come to a stop to go forward, the idle goes way down and she wants to stall out unless i give her a little gas. even if i give her some gas it takes a few more minutes before everything is cool, or warm i should say. once i start driving, everything is fine-no more stalling. this only happens after intila driving. if i do let her stall and i restart, it takes a long time for her to engage from turning over, not good.</DIV>
<DIV>could this be not warming up long enough? i understand that you should always warm these vans up, and i do, but how much is too much? i hate to leave her idling for too long.</DIV>
<DIV>could injectors be suspected? they are original and have 190,000 on them. i run cleaner through them but is it possible they are old and require more time to warm up?</DIV>
<DIV>could afm be at fault? again original equipment. i do have capacitor fix wiring harness.</DIV>
