'88 4AT LX, less than 3K mi. on reworked eng. I recently installed a Weber 32/36. Runs ok but I have a persistent problem w/ the idle. When the engine is hot (eng. running for some time, approx. 85 degrees & up ambient temp.) the idle will drop off from around 800 rpm to below 500. This only occurs when it's in gear in hot weather, such as at stop lights. Shift into N or P & it goes away. The idle speed screw has no effect when this happens. Tried engaging the emer. brake & releasing the brake pedal to see if there is a leak in the power brk. booster but no change so that's not it.
It's worth noting the damn $^%& thing also did this w/ the stock carb & all that vacuum crap on it! It's really, really annoying.... & I can't help but think it's something simple...has anybody else experienced this &/or have any suggestions?
On a positive note I found someone parting out an SE-i w/ the same color interior. Harvested the cupholder/cubbyhole assy. & the console/armrest. The armrest pad & foam are totally shot but I can get that fixed.
