Of course I searched for answers on this and all I turn up with are threads full of people suggesting replacing every part under the hood! Definitely not a solution at all.
So these cars seem to be plagued with this problem. Some people have zero issues and others have nothing but. My last 94 never had this issue, it would idle all day long rock solid. My current car hunts for idle a few seconds then dies if I don't keep it running. It only does is when it's been running for a bit and I come to a complete stop. Drive throughs are a nightmare! It's embarrassing having to restart.. makes people think I'm driving a clunker or something! So far I've tried to replace the MAF and IAC to remedy the problem and still the same result.
I noticed it got worse when I took some timing out. I'm not exactly sure where the timing is because I believe my balancer has slipped a little. But I pulled timing until it stopped pinging on 89 octane so I'm probably right on 10* or so. The light shows it's around 5*
So guys, who has actually figured out what is wrong and fixed the problem? Since a good number of these cars suffer from hunting idle/stalling I'm sure there MUST be a common issue. I've been driving these cars for years and converting to Fox TB always fixed it for me.. however that's not an option at the present. Thanks for your input guys. BTW, motor is stock.
