Question
I have a 1994 GMC Vandura that was idling rough for a while, but now it dies almost immediately after I start it.

Answer
Brian,
  This question leads to a LOT of questions and answers. My first thought is a vacuum leak but you don't give much information. What size engine? Does it do it when it is hot or cold? Does it idle fine but when you put it in gear, it dies?
  Could you please be very specific about the VIN and how this thing runs at specific temperatures? This would help me a lot.
  Thank you for your question and I hope to hear from you soon.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
