Your car stalls when you are not pushing on the gas pedal What can this be?
Toni1971
I bought a used jeep Cherokee that would stall out if you did not keep it revved up.
The night before my wife's first day at a new job I found the problem on my dining room table.
I thought that it was a carburetor problem, so I bought a carburetor rebuild kit for it.
That night while I was following the directions on how to replace needle valves and gaskets, I realized that the carb had two halves to it, one bolted on top of the other.
The curious thing was that someone had tapped threads into both halves and since both were threaded they could never really pull completely together and tighten down, thus not making a good seal and allowing too much air to be sucked into it.
With too much air entering the carb, the amount of gas had to be increased to keep the mixture ratio correct to keep running.
So maybe your mixture ratio is too lean and needs more gas or less air.
