Engine cutting out and stalling

[CHANMADD]

The other day my car was cutting out and wouldn't idle. When I took the float bowl and plate off, I found a tiny piece of gasket blocking the idle circuit. Put it back together and all was good............

I also had a similar problem and it was corrosion on the idle circuit of the metering block.

IMO a car with a fuel delivery problem isn't going to run fine one drive and totally shut down on the next one but start back up immediately. Still sounds electrical. I don't know what kind of connection blocks your wiring harness is made up with but as a precaution I would trace all the circuits between the ignition switch and ignition components to look for any pin connectors that are not fully seated in the connection block and not making full contact. Check that all grounds are good and tight. Even check out your coil wire closely and make sure it hasn't been damaged or has a poor terminal crimp. Also check connections at your ignition switch, starter and starter relay.

check your grounds

all of them

take them loose and clean all paint or corrssion before your re-install.
Lugs, studs, bolts check everything. If there is a splice look at it very close

I agree on the grounds. Make sure there is an engine ground strap also.
