HELP! stalling/dying problem!!!

i have a stalling problem with my car...
most of the time...it stalls when i'm waiting at the lights
and when i go to start it again, it take a good few long cranks....
and when it does start, it just dies again....

this problem is random
sometimes it does it when i'm waiting at the lights, and sometimes it is when i'm driving at 60km .....i don't knwo what the problem is, but most likely it is SPARK
cuz when the car does start, i smell fuel, so that means i was flooding the engine....


my timing was advanced last week......sorta fixed the problem...but started again today.....

what's happening??!!!

haha, this question is way too general to warrant a serious answer.

if your pressing the gas when trying to start the car again, yeah it'll flood..

Sounds like something around the distributor.. like ignitor coil..

2 main things to check is ignition and fuel.

process of elimintation

possible fuel pump is dying on you

but my first guess is dizzy for sure.

get your hands on another one and see what happens.

found out the pcv valve was plugged up...
so i changed it...
a day later, it stalled again...

i noticed that it only stalls when i'm at a light or when i decelerate...

i also remember that after i installed my AC , the idle rpm when down....

so i adjusted the idle screw...hope it helps....
i'll know tomoro...
