car dies while stopped at a light
hey guys not sure wats goin on, everytime im stopped at a light the idle slowly goes from around 900 to 600 and the charge drops right around 12 volts, and then the car will just die. happens everytime now. i had the alt and batt checked at kragen, they said its ok...not sure wat to check? only happens when stopped and car is in drive.

tried everything, and it still died out last nite. i think its just time to do the alternator swap and hope it goes away.
iac is idle air control valve. it it attached to your t/b facing towards the front of the car.

OK, don't be so quick to condemn the alt. As the idle starts to drop, so will the voltage on these cars. Even though the charging system on these cars is inadequate, I would first see what's causing the stalling problem
As for the IAC=idle control valve. It's bolted to the side of the throttle body w/ 2 screws. Take it off and clean the passages as well as the ones in the t/b and the t/b opening w/ carb/throttle body cleaner.
N/M just saw it's a 95. I think the IAC is on the top of the t/b. Same principle though
