when ever i start to come to a stop....my car will die....it looses rpm's, and just dies. when i go to start it back up....it will crank over for about 10 seconds before it actually starts...is it my carb?...my fuel pump? [Confused] .. if anyone has any idea it would be most appreciated
thanks

this is a hard call for me, but i have to go with the family on this one so, Roush360 some people do not have six figure income and can not afford to buy three f*&%ing Roush's, ryan is young and he has a really nice chevelle, it still needs some work but it has awesome potential, so back off the kid, he just is asking for some help, in that case i really believe that He is the better car person anyway, b/c he actually works on this car himself, not just taking it to someone and BUYING YOUR WAY INTO HORSEPOWER, granted i have not been the best cousin to ryan, he is a good kid and one of the hardest workers i know. So in your "this is a ford board " comment, maybe you should post at the WWW.STUCKUPRICHDUDESWITHSMALLDICKSBOARD.com
oh, just my $.02 See you tonight
