    Why is my 1981 Chevy El Camino choking off when I slow down?
    I recently had starter problems with my 1981 El Camino. I noticed it started idling extremely smoothly and then it started choking off whenever I slowed to come to a start. It starts back up fine and runs fine as long as I am driving. Once I start decelerating to stop it will choke off. What could be causing this?
