Check fuses (for tachometer), fuel pump and blew through injectors: they can have some residue ice from gasoline

SOURCE: Civic '92 engine normal starts then stalls after 2 mins

Ihave the same experience try to remove the idle jet located next to the starting jet. But be careful in removing it as it will break easily ( you will need a flat screwdiver to do it ) clean it with a wire that closest size of the jet. change your fuel filter ang drain all the fuel inside before putting it back. make sure to put some air pressure on each holes on the carb so it flush all unwanted particles inside and pls dont use silicone in sealing the rubbers inside.

SOURCE: engine stalls after cold start-up & release from high speed idle

I had a similar problem.  I found the filter cartridge below the pcv valve had carboned up, and after the crank case pressurized, oil was forced out the pcv supply line to the throttle body.  The idle air control valve solenoid got oil in it and caused my problem, but only when it was cold.  The pcv cartridge is accessed by removing the pcv valve and the rubber fitting that the pcv valve mounts in.  It can then be fished out with a pick set, and it is a pain because you can't see it, but you can get you hand back there.  I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Car starts fine..Idle is fast...stalls after car warms up

Check for vacuum leaks. Also try cleaning the ISV.

1987 560 SL, how to trouble shoot the power antenae and toggle switch on dash. Antenae motor wont run at all.

Hirschman antenna are jerks when they get old. Pull it, then pull it apart and see if the plastic band that turns the motor is broke, or if the tabs on the big plastic wheel are snapped off. Over at benzworld.org is some links to hirschman guy who can get parts kits for repairs.

Take your car to a garage and get it serviced and tuned. if you have already done so, get a compression test done on your motor to find out how wornout your engine is.

1987 cadillac 305 4bbl 5.0 litre with 150,000 miles

Given the age of the car, the mileage and the way you are using it, I doubt using 10-30 is going to cause any problems. Any long term problem would occur with repeated cold starts when it is very cold (e.g. below -10degC), as the engine would not oil properly. To avoid potential seal problems, I recommend you use a high mileage synthetic.
