Stalling 88 80Q

[Howarth1@aol.com]

Sounds like your potentiometer in your air flow plate is bad.  I had the same 
problem on a 90 model 90 5cyl.  Replaced hi/lo switches, idle stabilizer, all 
tune up items and filters with no fix to stall.  (very expensive too)  
Finally checked the potentiometer with a home made rig and a multimeter per 
the specs in the manual and found it was off very slightly.  Went to junk 
yard and bought a mass airflow sensor plate with fuel distributor attached 
for $80 (tested it real quick) and strapped it on.  This fixed the problem 
that a lot of money and "professionals" could not fix.  If the computer does 
not know exactly where the plate is ( i.e. a bad potentiometer output) then 
it can't figure out how to idle the car.  My car has idled perfectly since.  
Good luck
