Stalling at idle

[bad_religion_au]

The car is a 1988 ford laser (mazda 323, or who knows what you guys had it badged as)...

anyway it's a 1.6 litre, carb'd motor with electronic choke.

it runs awesomely, plenty of power through therev range,but when it warms up (and the e-choke disengages) it always stalls when the clutch is in and it's allowed to drop back to idle.

it starts right back up straight away, and a tiny bit of throttle keeps it running, and when it does die, it's more like someone turning it off, it doesn't splutter or anything.

now i know fawk all about carbies, having always run propane or diesels, what could the problem be

try just adjusting the idle mixture or idle set screw

I bet you have a idle shut off solinoid on that carb that is giving you problems.

I tried to check, but the 323 was fuel injected back through 87 in the US.

i doubt it's the idle screw/mix screw, as it did it for a while, then came good on it's own, then did it again.

idle shut off solinoid? any tips on id'ing it?

and some of our 323's were injected, but we had a few carry overs that were carbed.
