Can you make it keep running with the throttle?

Hmm.

Your car ran before, right?

Is it possible you have a big vacuum leak?

i dont know if it does have a vacuum leak. it did run before, i went to lunch, came back and it would not start. i did run it with the bov venting to atmosphere at idle..... but just for a couple parking lot passes.

Hm.

You have access to a Select Monitor, right? Maybe you should see what the various readings look like right as it stalls.

why not get dad or brother to fix it?

Make sure your brother doesn't forget to tighten the shift linkage in your car so that the bolt nearly-almost falls out completely and leave the shifter sloppier then a 50 year old hooker on the bad side of the tracks like he did with mine.
