Car runs fine once over 1500-2000rpms, but wont hold an idle and stalls out. Don't know much about it, where should I look first? It's a 5-speed with very high mileage and has been sitting dormant for about a month.

does it happen all the time hot and cold ! if so check for the idle mixture screw ( the AF screw ! ) may be it fell out or so loose !

You may have a vacuum leak. Did you check your hoses? I know its a bitch to troubleshoot.
