Default new to ti.org help with idling problem

Hey guy's I'm new to 318 ti .org I guess I'm here to ask a question,seeing we all have one major thing in common! I'M hopeing I'm asking in the right area too. Anyway my 95's been stalling at every red light bottom line it's stalling and rough idling any time I'M not driving or feeding her gas. Point me in the right direction anyone... And what DIY repair manual did you guys use that helped most? Thanks for the help if any !!

First, read your codes. You can do it yourself without any tools or even opening the hood.

My guess is that you have a vaccum leak. The main boot which runs from the airbox to the intake is notorious for cracking. You need to take it off to check for leaks. Takes 5 minutes, max.
You may have other leaks, too, but this one usually causes the worst problems.
