need help w/Spica Spider



I have a 79 spider with SPICA that stalls out once warmed up. It runs fine when cold. But after a few minutes when the thermostat opens up and the temp goes up, it won't idle. It will stall out if I don't keep the RPMs above at least 1500. It runs fine at higher RPM, but can't let it idle. Also, now when my thermostat opens, the engine temps immediately jumps from 140 to 212 Fahrenheit. (low end of the gauge to high end) I am not sure where to start troubleshooting on this car. I used to have an 82 w/BOSCH, but this is my first SPICA car. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter in Los Angeles
