1988 Chevrolet Celebrity, Automatic, 2 wheel drive 2.8 multiport V6. 86,000 original miles.
The engine stalls when coming to a stop in drive. (Sitting at a light it stalls out). When the engine is power braked at a stop light it does not stall. The IAC is new and has been set to specs. I have cleaned the throttle body, tuned the engine, checked the computer with a scanner, no codes present. I also checked the data stream and all the sensors are within voltage limit, etc. I just replaced the fuel pump, strainer, filter. Do you have any idea what could be causing the stalling?

Find the EGR valve clean it out and see what happens. When done go ahead and clean the PCV valve
