first of all im not very familiar with carburetors, so if there is a
website that explains all the pieces on one that any one knows of that
i can read up on that would be good.

Heres my question

I think this may be a common problem, but I wanted to find out what
some pros thought. When I drive, my car would stall, when I would stop
at a red light or stop sign , anything of that matter. My Idle would
just drop off. I took it to get tuned, the mechanic adjusted the Idle
to about 1k, this worked great for about a week, then the same problem
showed up, had it tuned again, same problem happened in a week.
Finally I tuned it my self but set the Idle to about 2k -2100 so now
the car wont turn off on me, I just have a really high idle and am
wasting alot of gas.

Do I need a new carb? Is this a vacum problem? Is the adjuster just
keep coming loose?

any insight or help would be much appreciated, thank you


Edit : perhaps I should mention that its a 88 engine in a 89 body
