Why does my truck not idle?
I have an 89 pickup 4x4 with a 22RE. Its a 5 spd. Recently, while driving to work, it has been dying any time I dont have my foot on the gas. I adjusted the idle, which works until the truck is warmed up, then it does the same thing again. At the same time this started, I noticed a clicking sound coming from just behind the dash on the passenger side. It makes a click when I push on the gas, then makes another click when I release the gas. Does anyone know what the heck is going on with my baby?
Thank you
Thank you

Figured it out
The idle adjustment screw on the throttle body has an o-ring on it so that it stays where you put it. My o-ring is totally shot. So as I was driving, the screw would giggle and screw itself in more, throwing the idle off.
