I have a 85 Saab 900, and I have exactly the same problem. As long as the car is running, its fine. But whenever it stops, or when I take my foot off the gas, the RPM would drop right down and the engin would stall. This happens when its cold or warm up. And when the car is idling, after a while it will stall as well. I also had the idle adjusted, it worked fine for a few weeks, then it start stalling again. If anybody have any ideas on this problem, please advice. Thanks !
