Still stalls after tune-up 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Eric on  Sat May 5 14:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My car stalls upon initial start when it sits overnight or several hours. I can't recall it did this often while it was milder outside But, now, it's mid 80s everyday (Florida) and the stalling is more frequent.

Car starts fine without having my foot on the gas. It will idle fine for a few seconds and then stall out completely. Sometimes it will hesitate, and I can give it a little gas before it stalls. However, the car idles perfectly fine at stop lights, etc. I'm a little puzzled.

I got it back from the shop on Friday. I had this done to it: Replace plugs/cap/rotor/wire set. Cleaned throttle body and idle air valve, sprayed the fuel injector seals, set the throttle position sensor, checked thermostat in the air box, had that valve tied/closed, and checked for vacuum leaks (none found). My fuel filter was replaced in 12/00.

My '89 is an automatic and getting good gas mileage, around 25mpg.

Any thoughts? Fuel pump? AMM (though, doubt it)?... Using a bottle or two of the Techron cleaner hasn't really helped.

Thanks,

Eric Staufer
