First off, repeat after me, very little is cheap or easy to fix on a V8.... I outa know :-)


ok, things that cost no money...

  we can try cleaning up the Idle Stablizer Valve, take it off and spray it liberally
  with carburetor cleaner...or some other like solvent.  (I'll explain where it is if your
  not sure...)
  
  put it back on and give it a whirl.

  I'll wait until you've tried the cheap stuff first :-)  This could take a while...
