Default IDLE PROBLEMS

sometimes, not when i engage the clutch, but when i put it into gear, the car stalls.
why is this? it happens when car is cold, and even after driving for an hour

also, when accelerating i hear a high pitched whining sound....

i do have an opened throttle body. is that it?
don't wanna sound like an idiot or nothin but hey i'm new! i st

If there is not tube from the throttle body to the filter...then it is safe to assume that youMass Air Sensor is floating in the air not reading anything...

That is if your can uses a MAF...I believe '89 and up have MAF

That would cause idle problems for sure

roughly 1000...but whenever i put it in any gear at a stand still, the car loses rpm's and then surges if it hasn't already stalled
