Re: My T-Bird stalls when put in gear and has a low/rough idle
If the problem occurred at the exact same time as the new exhaust, then maybe you've altered the backpressure to the point where further tuning of the fuel curve is required. If it didn't occur the same time as the exhaust, its not the problem.
Secondly, the oil bar doesn't show you how much oil you have, it shows you oil pressure. Its normal that it should drop to zero when the engine stalls.
When someone says hunting idle I usually say that its something to do with ignition. If the idle goes up, down, up, down steadily, then its almost always a spark issue. If yours is just jumping up every once in a while and stalling, I would check for vacuum leaks.
Proper idle for that car should be more like 600 in neutral and 500 in gear.
