Hey all,

just put in an engine with new gaskets and what not .. did some exhaust work .. and testing it out .. . when i start it . it idles fine for abit then starts reving up and down ? .. idle stablizer ? or O2 sensor .. ithink its burning rich as well the smell .. but driving round town it drives fine, no over heating even though i think the fan isnt working and its 29 C, humidity at 52 % :) . but.. anyway.. but I took it out on the hwy and like.. 2 minutes into driving at about 110 kms or thats what it says on the speedometer, no tach so i donno what rpm .. but then it just stalls ... no loss of power eletrically just the engine died ... pull off the road . let it sit for like 1 min, tryed starting it and it started .. started pulling away .. got out to hwy speed again .. then it stalls again .. .. .. let it sit then tryed starting it and it worked .. hmmm... so I got it off the hwy and been drivning it all round town .. with no problems ... whats goin on ? ..
