'92 Mitsubishi Diamante - Stalls sometimes when come to a stop

Sat for the last two years with maybe a 1/4 or more tank of gas. Wouldn't start, so just put a new battery in. Put some high octane gas on top of old gas and it would stall when come to a stop. We put Gumout injector cleaner in today. It comes close to stalling when come to a stop but hasn't yet in the couple hours since putting in the cleaner; but it comes close stalling because RPM's get down between 4 and 500 when come to a stop., Auto Zone tested alternator today and that's fine. They said to just keep putting high octane in from now on and do the injector cleaner once a month. But why does it idle so low when coming to a stop? Carburetor adjustment? throttle adjustment? did the 2 yr old gas really just gum it up? is it a computer issue with the idle control? I know it could be a myriad of things. Over two years ago it would idle around 800 or less also but not stall, I just want the RPM's up in idle!

Need to know how to syphon gas out of my1993 Mitsubishi Diamante and hose gets stopped by something before reaching the gas tank. Bad gas was put in my car when the power went out due to tornados here in...

you can't syphon the gas out on these vehicles. They have a ball that is in the metal hose on the gas tank to keep any large object out of the tank. Your best bet would be to drop the tank, and take the fuel pump out and dump all the old fuel. Hope this helps, James Booth
