Okay- I have two problems, both of which should should be fairly easy to figure out, but I want some other minds helping me out with them. The first is the stalling problem. It only happens after the car is completely warmed up. The idle gets kind of weak, and the car sometimes tries to save it, but usually fails. She starts right back up, and the engine runs perfectly- 750 rpms, when it idles. It seems like at idle it isn't getting enought air. Would the bac have anything to do with that? I'm almost positive that mine is shot (engine usually dies when I turn on a/c at idle, and sometimes it works after the car warms up).

My other problem is interior electrical. I bought the car minus a stereo/speakers/other interior pieces. So I picked up a radio from a junk yard to fill the hole, and hope that it might still work. So last weekend my buddy and I were trying to get the thing to work. He wanted to find the power wire, and he did. The problem is after touching it to ground a few times, it stopped carrying current. Fuse is still good, but the radio, clock (dummy lights still work) and map lights all lost power. Any ideas on that? Anything and everything that you guys mights be able to help me on I would greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance as well!

The room fuse is open.

Fuses often fail invisibly, so you have to test them with a meter.



It sounds like your mechanical idle settings are too low & the BAC can’t always make up the difference.

Also an intermittent vac leak (like a crack in the inlet duct that only opens sometimes) could give those symptoms.

Alright, thank you. I'll be looking into that probably over the weekend
