[T3] Update on engine dying when stopping after leaving Interstate

[Art Sterrett]

1971 Fastback w/fuel injection!  Pulled the hose off the air cleaner that goes to the (AAR) and found that the engine does not die when the hose is closed off.  I also performed the check on the pressure sensor and believe it is good.  Took it out for another test drive and it didn't stall.  I drove it downtown last night about 9 miles and it performed fine, on the return home it started acting up like it wanted to stall several times but did not completely die.  I am not sure where to go from here, have a little concern about taking it any distance until I find out what is causing this to happen.

One other thing I am curious about is what would cause the following electrical problem which I don't believe is related to the above problem.  The right tail light double filament bulb for tail and turn signal, works when the turn signal is activated but the tail light does not.  Checked the bulb and it looks good and the contacts appear to be okay, changed the bulb and fuse but still have the problem.  Last night I noticed that the front turn signal's work but I do not have parking lights and the small marker lights are not working on either side.  I am going to check the headlight switch this morning and make sure a wire hasn't come loose.  Do all these bulbs have to work for everything to work?  If everything is good at the headlight switch where should I start checking?  The fuses are all good!

Your help is appreciated!
