I'll give my standard one-size-fits-all answer: check the temperature
compensators.
When you're running at highway speeds, if the temperature compensators
aren't adjusting for rising under-hood temperatures, you don't notice
because you've got your foot on the gas. But when you exit, and take your
foot off the gas, the idle can drop too low if the temp compensators aren't
working and you stall. This doesn't totally explain why the problem goes
away after you drive a bit more, but I'd still guess it's temperature
related.
my two cents worth ...
Coming up next week: how temperature compensators affect the folding of soft
top windows.

Subject: Stalls after highway run
I noticed that after driving on the highway for a while in my TR6, that
when I exit and reach the bottom of the ramp the car will stall. It
doesn't run rough, just stalls lke the idle is set to low.
Once I restart and drive at around town speeds, after a few minutes there
is no stalling and it idles appropiately.
I can live with it, as I jsut keep my foot on the gas for a few minutes
after highway driving, but obviously not the optimum fix. Any ideas as to
what I should look at?
