Please be more specific. Does it run okay but stalls at stop signs because the idle speed is too low? Does the engine quit running while you're driving? Was the battery recently disconnected or run dead? Do you get a nice "idle flare-up" to 1500 rpm when you start the engine? Will it stay running if you hold the gas pedal down 1/8"?
