the other day i drove home from a friends house and my car was acting wierd....every time i would come to a stop the car would die....it would start back up just fine and if when i stopped if i revved it up it would stay running but if i let off the gas it would die....any ideas on what the problem could be?

was the engine still cold?

no it wasnt cold....i had driven a few blocks before it started doing it and i went outside the day after to look at it when the engine was cold and i started it up and it idled funny like it was almost gonna die but didnt

check for vaccum leaks

could this be the problem?http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/solius7/P4180092.jpg

Ding Ding Ding!
These cars basically need two things besides the obvious to run good, strong vacuum and a good ground. That is without a doubt your problem. - Chris

is there any kind of product that i could use to temporarily seal it up?

I suppose rtv :dunno

Mine was like that a while ago. It was held together by heaps of electrical tape, and it seemed to work. Car started and drove, idles properly. ITs just a quick fix mind you, and probably should get looked at properly.

yah i just am flat broke right now....i have an interview tomorrow in which i need the car running so i can get there, lol....and also to drive me to and from work for the first few weeks till ican gte paid and get it properly fixed

could this be the problem?
That could definately be the issue. Regardless, you'll want to replace that thing soon.

I would say that is your issue. .Clean it off good with alcohol and let it dry. Fill the crack with some silicone until you can replace it. Let it dry good overnight and make sure to fill the crack good all the way around. Force it into the crack with your fingers so there are no leaks. This should get you by until you get a new one.

use some kind of epoxy, or jb weld, or even seam sealer.

ok i ended up using some rtv silicone....hopefully that will do the job for me :)

Actually, next time clean it and use DUCK TYPE. Rip it into 1" or so wide strips and wrap it up. Duck type helps keep the Marines going, at least it did it the old corp!! My Day.
