85 gsl-se just dies HELP

ok the car really runs very good , if i'm sitting at a light and i dont keep reving the car it just dies ,, it will stay running for anywhere between 3 to 7 secs then it just feels like some one just turns off the key, but it starts right up any help would be nice thanks ,,, JON :-) jon95210@yahoo.com

when was your last tuneup, Jon? if not too recent, i'd start there. next i'd probably want to clean up your induction system.

Whats your idle?Does it only happen when cold? If I open my choke before it is at operating temp it will do exactly that.

i havent had a tune up in a wile just oil changes, the car runs good as long as i keep the RPMs over 2000 when i'm sitting at a light, but if i'm driving its fine , then again if the RPMs are very low when i'm driving it still dies. i'm starting to think leading ignitor (spelling sorry) and coil cause if just dies like some one turns the key off no sputtering or if i try to save it it still just dies ,, k thanks you guys, anyother info would be great ,, thanks again JON :-)

BTW the idle sits about 800 . and the motor is a FI 13B
