Hi, my name is Pat. I own a 87' dodge charger 2.2. About 800 miles ago, I rebuilt the carb but then the other day it started acting funky. What's happening is the engine will start and run at fast idle, but when it trys to go down to normal idle, it stalls. The engine won't run below 1500 rpm. I was thinking poor fuel delivery, possibly a clogged fuel filter. So I replaced both fuel filters and the problem persists. So I thought, maybe some sediment got through the filters and got lodged somewhere in the carb. So I took the air horn off and cleaned out all of the jets and holes and stuff. Still not working. So, I have no clue. The only ideas I have now are that the fuel pump is getting old and the fuel psi is low or that the solenoid getting old and cutting out the spark. So that's my story, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
