I have a 86 mustang lx 2.3. It starts fine and idles between 1000 and 1750 RPM. When I drive on the street, it runs fine until stopping then it stalls. It starts right back up, but the problem continues. Any suggestion?

Do a tune up and clean your carb

High idle sounds about right, maybe a little low. Curb idle (controlled by the inner of the 2 idle screws behind/below the choke on the throttle lever) should be at about 750rpms. I agree though, a rebuild and cleaning may be in order.
