The idle speed is so low that it will shut off at stop signs. Runs okay at start up and the rpm's are around 600 when cold.

For a start try cleaning out the idle air control valve and check the TPS close and WOT voltages-

The problem was fixed when we had the garage clean the fuel line from the gas tank to the engine. It runs smooth as a kitten nowl
