[DeTomaso] Problems with engine shutting down

Question: where is the power for the choke coming from? If as sometimes happens, it is a tap on the hot wire for the ignition coil, MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE! This reduces voltage to the ignition and on most cars acts like a rev-limiter. On yours it may be acting like a cut-off switch. It definitely sounds like electrical since instant-anything is not fuel related. If not the choke wiring, maybe the electrical portion of the ignition switch.
My best guess- J DeRyke

So, anytime after the choke has fully opened (off the fast idle
cam) and
warmed up, she won't idle, foot off the gas pedal and she just
stalls?
When you re-start, same thing, foot off the gas pedal, she stalls
again?
Idle screw backed off?

A bad fuel pump is going to make the motor sputter and jump
like it is
running out of gas. He said it just stops like the key is turned
off. A fuel
pump problem would make the motor hard to restart, he said it
starts right
back up.

Sounds like a bad fuel pump.

with the ignition switches in the
past. I would hot wire it (jump power to
coil) that will by pass all of the
wires going to the dash. Run your tests
to see what it does.

Don't have any ethanol in my gas. Never use the stuff.
Lucky to have good
gas where I live. I will check my ground. All my hoses are
original except
water. Have looked at my hoses but will take them off and check
that way
also. Will also check that brake hose. Have changed the coil and no
change.
It doesn't sputter. It just shuts down. If I feather the gas I can keep
it
running. Don't know about checking the float level on the Autolite. Can
do
it on the Holleys on my Birds. I had the carb rebuilt a few years ago and
it
ran ok of quite a while. I have a lot to check. So I will get back to
you
guys latter with an update. Thanks
