Help. it's getting cooler here in the northeast. My 87 starts up and then stalls. If I give it throttle is will run fine until I let it idle and then it dies. It now happens warm or cold.It is an automatic, I use sunoco 93 or shell super. i use 5-30 mobil1. any ideas?
 
First thing to start with is to check any codes. Is the service engine soon light on during operation? If it isn't, I would pull the codes anyways. After that post up any information. If you don't know how to pull the codes post back.

Lots of things to check...

any service lite? if so, what codes?

air filter? IAC and TPS plugs. Vac leaks, MAF & relays.
