Default dies at idle

i have a 93 z28 and when i start it up and leave it in park it idle's fine but if put it into drive and let it sit there the rpm's will go up and down and then if i let it sit there for like a minute or so at a red light it will die on me and im kinda of thinking its because its not getting enough gas for some reason, the car runs perfectly fine when your driving it but when your stopped it wants to die on me, so i was wondering if u guys had any opinion's on what it could be and or something that has gone bad that i should replace so let me know what u guys think.

If it's not getting enough gas, you could look into getting a new set of injectors. Check your fuel filter too. Or just have your injectors cleaned.

If it doesn't turn out to be fuel-related, then I'm thinking it's something wrong with the ignition... and that's a whole other ball game...

if you have high mileage on the stock injectors they will crap out on you.

22#, check the sticky at the top of the page as its listed there.
Could also be the opti depending on the mileage. If all else fails (checking fuel delivery) have it checked. Its classic symptoms of them failing.
