Hello,

I will assume yours is a K-jet (CIS) with the Constant Idle System. If that is the case, you should check the base idle set-up. You can find this is info in most manuals such as Bentley, Haynes, Volvo green book etc. If your base idle is set to low the idle valve will not have enough correction to bring it back before stall. You have to make sure the base idle is within the proper range. This would be my first step since I have had this problem on my 82.
