hey i just got this problem with my 88 gt. It's almost all stock with a rebuilt motor it has a b cam headers inake and ac and smog delete this morning i started the car and it would not stay on while cold when it warmed up it wouldn't idle right (normal idles at 800 -900 but was idleing at 600 or less) The car would shut off on me at almost every light. I checked my vacuum lines and all are connected. Checked my timing everything was good the car just would not idle right and would shut off and every once in awhile the check engine light would come on. Sorry if this makes no sense im watching bull run. So if you guys ahve any questions just shoot
thanks

You could try cleaning the idle air control valve on Your throttle body? I had some idleing problem's with a bad ground connection at the battery before. Good luck!
