My 78 308 is running pretty well lately, but one thing has been a problem really since I got the car.

When cold, the car starts up, warms up, and runs great. I never have a problem starting the car, even when warm--just don't flood the engine. Got it.

Let's say I park the car after it has had a good run and come back an hour or two later. She'll start right up.

The problem is, even when the car has warmed back up, it behaves differently than if it had warmed up from being cold. Specifically, it stalls! At red lights, doing the clutch-in-and-in-neutral thing, the RPMs will sometimes fall and stall. Sometimes, it'll be OK, then, sitting at a red light, it will just stall.

The only time this ever happens, this stalling, is within the first 20 minutes or so after coming back to a warm car after a few hours or so.

Any ideas on what could be going on? Idle is normally around 1k when the car is warm, and everything else seems fine.

Thanks for your help... --Mike
