Hello and thank your for choosing fixya.com. I suggest changing the fuel filter and air filter to begin with. If that doesn't fix it, you may have a couple of plugged fuel injectors, or you may need to replace the coil pack and modular or distirbutor cap and rotor (whichever is equipped); either one, it is a good idea to also change the spark plugs and wires. Coil packs can be tested to determine whether they're good or not. Distributor caps and rotors will have obvious damage that will indicate the need for replacement. Modulars may have a melted, or bubbled look to the material on top of them (coil pack(s) ) removed. If the modular is bubbled, replace it, keeping the original coil pack(s) and try that - also, if equipped with a distributor; before replacing cap and rotor, make sure that the coil wire is secure at both end. (it will be the center wire in the distributor cap) and runs to the coil.
Please let me know if you need further information or have any other questions or comments. Thank you again for choosing fixya.com.

I have a 1994 GMC Suburban that when I come to a stop light or stop sign the RPM's drop too low it stalls my truck out and then when I turn the heater on it automatically kills my truck I have replaced...

Sounds like the aircon is kicking in when you turn on your heater. This will load up an idling engine, and if it is idling too slowly is will stall out the engine. Try increasing your engine idle speed until the heater on function doesn't stall the engine at idle speed.

Astro van problem

If the engine RPM drops and does not recover, its usually a faulty idle air control valve. Can you keep your foot on the gas and keep it running when you come to a stop ? Is the check engine light on ?

Car running rough at random when accelerating and also idle drops suddenly when slowing down and often completely stalls out when I stop. Smells strongly of gasoline when it stalls/almost stalls but I

This could be a lot of things. one of the tests that you need to run is shift it into nuetral when you are stopping and see if it still drops RPM and wants to stall. This will eliminate or conclude that it is a transmission issue. If it is still doing this then it could be a vacuum leak or fuel delivery issue.

1972 VW Dune Buggy Stalling when coming to stop

Sounds like a fuel starvation problem. Start with the fuel filter, then have the carb rebuilt. Make sure the idle setting has not changed.

Revs drop coming to standstill

Here is the cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
