A few years ago I had a horrible stalling problem. I had to put it in neutral and rev the engine somewhat at stop lights and stop signs or it would die. Trying to reverse to get into a better parking situation was an ordeal. One foot on the gas and one on the brake. I did everything I could think of, I finally took it to my mechanic buddy who is pretty sharp, he found that the distributor itself was bad. I had already put on new cap and rotor, but the thing had incredible internal friction.
