sometimes when its cold..mabey been run 5-8mins ill be a stop light or stop sign and the rpms will hit mabey 200-400 its hard to tell they will just drop the needle wont wave from 200-900 itl just stick at 200 the engine wont studder or shake or sound crummy( well any worse then the 8v already studders and clatters on like a tractor lol)

if i put my foot on the gas and rev it up then let it fall back sometimes itl stick to 800-900 sometimes itl go back to 200..???? kinda weird it wont die or anything first engine i have seen thatl bog to 200 and not shut off lol if my dads car falls below 750 for more then a seccond itl die...mabey my 8v is stonger then 351w?

Maybe water in fuel? Does it happen when the tank is more empty?

Try one of those fuel additives that removes moisture. The only one I can think of is heet. I'm sure there's more...

Good Luck, Eric

Based on what you said in the last post, it could be the evap system. If the purge valve doesn't work to let the charcoal canister empty back to the tank, the fuel condensation maybe backing into the intake. You can test the purge valve and check the lines going to the canister. There shouldn't be large amounts of fuel.  :)

I got some shell gas last week and it caused my motor to fluctuate about 500 rpm.....the tank only lasted about 100 miles cause i had to keep it to the floor the whole time on the highway....it was horrible. I'd try different gas cause I did and everything is back to normal.
