Engine stalling when hitting the gas
I drive a 1995 GMC sierra with the 4.3 liter v6.
Ok sometimes when I am getting ready to take off from a stop sign if my RPM's are below about 1800 if I press the gas very much at all the engine will stall and almost die. It lugs down and the RPM's drop really low but if I let my foot off the gas and press again or just keep my foot on the gas the RPM's will jump back up after a second or so.
What could be causing this?
