90 Blazer, full size, 350, stumbles and dies at idle or when put in

still having problems. Motor runs fine once you get going. Im left
scratching my head. Any ideas?

Check and clean the idle air control and throttle body, the cat would kill
high speed power if bad.

Now why didnt I think of that? Pulled the IAC, it was carboned up

issues occaisionally, will pull the TB and clean it up real good this
weekend.

Thanks Shep!
