can anyone tell me what i could check to find out why my car almost dies right after i start it goes from idle 900 rpm to about 400 rpm then back to normal?

also i have a clear fuel filter is there supposed to be a bubble in there? and it always different sometimes a little bubble, a big one, or none at all


and one more thing why does it cut out when it take turns quickly could i have a weak fuel pump?

thanks

Bubble in the fuel filter is ok, probably should get a fuel pressure reading anyway. The other problem sound related to misadjusted floats. Check it out!

Floats out of adjustment or your fuel pressure is too high. Is this an edelbrock carb? If so, no more than 5.5 psi fuel pressure or it will behave just like you describe.

Ditch that little clear glass filter, they suck. Get a good ol metal canister type filter from kragen or somewhere. More filter area, more crap filtered out.
