Car dies when I stop??

[cb7addict]

Ok so my car sat for about a week while I went to Cali. I get home and it starts up and idles but when I drive and come stop, it dies. What could cause this? I had this problem once before but it stopped after I took it on a 3hr trip to Austin.

Any info would be great!

it happen to me a couple of times check your main fuel relay . . dose it start back up when you try to turn it back on?

Yea it starts back up and will idle, but when I take off and stop again it dies.

Its ur main relay. I've replaced it in two different cb7s.. both did exactly what yours is doing.

my car dies every once and awhile at a light. My idle sits so low, I mean below 500. Some times it just stall and die.

set it higher. on your intake manifold there's a screw to adjust it.

I set mine higher and it still didn't do nething it jus idles high @ 1500 in the morning and after it warms up starts dropping to 100 and many times it'll jus shut right off when I sink the clutch

Tried that... doesn't work. Its either to high or too low. Can't adjust it.

this happened to me today and scared the shit out of me.
Im a new driver(just got license less than 2 weeks ago lol)
but any way it was raining and I was driving with the wipers on for the first time and as I came to a stop on a almost flat road, the car turned off and rolled back a lil. I put the hazard lights on and then put it back in park and took the key out and tried to restart it. took 5 times before it finally turned back on. I drove it 3 more times that day and it started without a problem so I doubt it was the battery. Any ideas?
