I have been having an issue for quite some time with my Olds Cutlass stalling. First it started out that if I drove around town awhile, then shut off the car for a stop, when I started the car back up the engine rpm would pulse up and down and then stall. Now it will do this when coming to a stop and even sometimes when accelerating. After it stalls, I have a hard time starting the car, and have the best luck starting it in neural while givng it gas. After I get it strarted, it will stall out as soon as I get it back in gear or it will pulse and stall. Help please.

Sounds like your idle air control valve is going bad. Have it ohm tested to see if it is faulty. Also the valve itself and your throttle bore(throttle body) may have a lot of carbon build up witch can mimic the same symptoms.
