I cannot let the gas completely off or else my truck will stall. Is that the carburator? What else could it be?
Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.
Clarify whether the reported stalling occurred while stationary, while slowing down or both, and whether the engine restarted afterward.
Source: Original question and visible replies. Owner reports and other participants' experiences are distinguished. Next steps are editorial requests for clarification or existing diagnostic findings, not a verified repair procedure or an independently confirmed component diagnosis.
Running Problem
The owner of a 1988 Mazda B2200 with an automatic transmission reported that the truck stalled when the accelerator was fully released. The owner described warm weather and said they had not experienced the truck in winter.
Reported outcome: No diagnosis, completed repair or resolution was reported.
Warm weather does not establish whether the engine itself was warmed up. The owner suspected the carburetor, but the thread contains no findings confirming that suspicion.
