Angry What The Hell, engine stalling/dieing at idle

I've searched for a post like this and didn't see one so if someone already posted this problem, sorry.

A few days ago, i was drivin' my 88' Turbo II, and when ever i came to a stop at a light or stop sign, my car would die. It didn't happen everytime, but it was enough to make me think WTF. It did it for a couple days and today it died and wouldn't start back up. It would turn over to 1000 r's and die again.

Could anyone help me out with WTF is goin' on?

Could be many things...Big vac leak (TID hose), bad TPS, wasted plugs, bad ground, CAS dying, etc...We can't guess for you, start looking around at everything, and start troubleshooting, system by system...

Vacuum leak, tps, ecu, afm, all of those could cause this problem I think.

Edit: Wayne beat me to it .
