    Weird stalling issue

    Turns out it was the distributor, it was so worn the it would not properly advance when you put it in gear so it would stall the motor out. I've had this happen once before years ago and i had forgotten about it. Dropped a new one in, runs like a top now. Thanks guys for all your tips

    It revs fine too, I can punch the throttle and there is no stumble at all, idle drops right back where it should. Could that still be IAC?

    As for the AC it doesn't work, that was my next thing after the brakes. I'm not sure about the idle stop solenoid, I'm thinking no, but I will have to look to be sure

    I'll give the IAC a shot, but I really dont believe it or fuel related. I thought EGR at first too but I ruled it out also.

    Idle is around 700rpm, I'll have to see if there is a way to upload a video here, then you can see exactly how it is acting.

    No I took it to a friends to do the brakes because my garage wasnt finished at home. It hasnt moved since. I'm very confident in my brake work.

    So it could still be the TC itself? The truck is stuck about 40 minutes from home, I'm waiting for a friend of mine with a rollback to go get it. I'm just trying to get ideas where to look for when I do.

    Ok, the truck ran fine one day, I parked it. Changed the back brakes. Got in to test and that's when it started doing this. So let me get this right, if I unplug the 4 pin and it still stalls, then it's not the tc or the solenoid?

    Weird stalling issue

    I know it's hard to explain in print, but yes you hit it on the head. If I am holding the brake and put it in gear it kills it. But if I have enough room and drop it in gear with out holding the brake it will go till I try and stop it then it dies. I was wondering about the converter if it...

    No it stalls when I put it in gear, its almost like the transmission stops the engine. It's like holding the brake pedal on a standard transmission and letting the clutch out.

    Weird stalling issue

    I'll try to explain it better, it starts and the motor runs smooth, it revs smooth. The moment you shift from park to either reverse or drive it kills it. It's not an intermittent problem, it happens every time. I can get it to move by putting to t case in low and not using the brake. If that...

    I'll check but it really doesnt act like a fuel related problem.

    Weird stalling issue

    My 88 K1500 350 auto overdrive, Truck starts perfect, motor idles and revs perfect. As soon as I put it in gear it dies. It will move if I keep the idle up and stay off the brake, but obviously that's hard on a driveline. Is there any idea of what would cause this? There is no sputtering or...
