    The engine runs/idles perfect, Idle is about 600 smooth RPM on the
    dash tack. But....when underway, and you come to a stop or even just
    decelerate for a turn, letting engine drop down to idle, then it
    stalls often. What would cause bad idle when car
    underway/decelerating, but checks good when sitting still? Seems like
    a vacuum leak would mess up the sitting- still idle, also. thanks,

    And adjust it if need be, a too-closed idle stop will cause the RPM to dip
    when the throttle slaps shut, with an automatic this can cause the engine to
    stall.

    I had a similar problem and after MONTHS of trying everything
    imaginable it turned
    out to be a crack in the distributor cap. If it seems to be worse on
    rainy days I
    would bet thats what it is. Good luck!
