Sounds like you've either got a big vacuum leak somewhere, or else the carb has developed an issue. I'd look around to see if a vacuum hose has popped off somewhere--that's probably the most likely issue, since you say the problem developed somewhat quickly. And, make sure you have the idle speed properly set. A too-low idle can also cause stalling.

She said the problem started a couple of days ago. This is a 258, auto with BBD carb and all pollution equip intact. -car starts right up and will idle in park and neutral just fine. -Putting the car in drive results in a stall. -It doesn't happen immediately but it is pretty much w/o warning (ie I started the car, put it in D with brake on and it was fine for anywhere from 3-10 sec and would just quit). -It will also stall out coasting up to a stop sign or light -Engine starts right up after stalling -If it's shifted immediately into D from N and gas applied it will not stall out -Runs and shifts fine in normal traffic Suggestions?
