Idle speed incorrect. 2. Fuel filter clogged and/or water and impurities in fuel system. 3. Distributor components damp or damaged. (Is the distributor cap cracked?) 4. Faulty emissions system components. 5. Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs. 6. Faulty spark plug wires. 7. Vacuum leak in the intake manifold or vacuum hoses. 8. Valve clearances incorrectly set. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice. We do NOT respect the subscribers that enjoy criticizing people. |

It stalled and won't restart, I have the same book
I suspect #4 faulty emissions system components but not sure we're to start, is an o2 sensor can prevent a "no start condition", or an intake air temperature sensor |

One thing that is not on the list is the "fuel throttle bore". It should be mentioned in your repair manual. You should clean it. You should also replace the intake manifold gasket. Did you replace the fuel filter? It's possible that the problem is dirty gas or gas that has water in it. If that is the source of the problem--the problem will not go away until you burn that tank of gas. If you are not a mechanic, you should consider having the car towed to a mechanic. The mechanic could hook up the engine to a computerized engine tester and figure out the source of the problem.
