Ok so my friend finally got his first car....long story but he had NO money so his dad bought him an old 89 grand prix for $400....its got the 2.8L v6 with 4 speed. He complained that it would stall all the time at lights unless he kept his foot on the gas....i test drove it and yes this was the case. After further inspection of the engine i noticed that the tranny fluid was bone dry.....wonderful....
Long story short i took it to the shop and did the full service for his budget. New air filter/oil filter....new oil and tranny fluid....the car started running REALLY good especially after we put REDLINE fuel treatment in it. The stalling BARELY happens now but it does happen.....it pulls really nice for a $400 car.
Anyway...any ideas on this stalling problem? It only stalls in a stop light situation...when u slow down and its still in drive...it dips to around maybe 600-700 then shoots up a little bit more then just dies.
