Hello,
I've got an 82 skylark that is hard to start until it warms up, stumbles while driving until 40 or so, and dies usally as soon as put into gear. The stumbling i can get around by killing the car while its in motion the restarting while in neutral, at least for a mile or so. once it warms up it will idle real strong and then start trying to stall.. It will do just fine on the highway though.

If someone can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. I've changed the oxygen sensor, spark plugs, and fuel filter. Its an 4 cylinder throttle body injection.

If more info needed pease let me know.

Hi:
Is the check engine light on? Have you ever checked fuel pressure?
