my 88 4.2 as been having idle problems. in most cases it will happen when coming to a stop, or in worst cases if im not on the gas. in recent fiddling with mostly the carb and air filter, it was running fine for awhile, i was expecting the problem to start when the choke opened up so took the air filter lid off to see where the choke was and it stalled right away. I put it back on and it would start and stop, start and stop, with the help of opening the throttle, but would eventually run and idle fine again(at least when car wasnt moving). I took the lid off again and it stalled. did it about 4 times so it wasnt coincidince. i know the lid is on there for a reason but i dont think it should stall right away like this. anyone know whats goin on? thanks if you do
