[V8] (no subject) - idle problem

Not sure about the gear/neutral part, but 2 things come to mind with an
idle problem...

ISV (idle stabilizer valve) - Clean it with some throttle body cleaner.
(For those unfamiliar with its location, it is the black dohicky on the
front of the engine that looks like a miniature starter motor.)

Another culprit might be vacuum leak.  Replace all your vacuum lines
(for under $10) and even put hose clamps on each connection.  This can
improve gas mileage as well.

Anyone else have any suggestions?  I suppose a fuel delivery problem
might cause this...

Good luck,

- Jeremy

My 90 has a problem where when I start it when cold, it won't keep
running
on idle.
However If I put it in gear and back in neutral it will idle. Any
suggestions ?
