Idle speed
The idle in my 86 camaro was perfect all winter. I have a 305 with the stock 4 barrel carb, and as soon as we started getting some warmer weather, my idle is ridiculously low and depending on the day, it will stall out while waiting at lights but starts right back up. Any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I have a theory that it's the winter blend gas in the warm weather, but if so what could my options be to solve the problem?
