help

So I didn't drive my car for a day and when I got inside this morning and turned it on my rpm's were jumping around like crazy. Do you guys know why?

Was it the actual engine RPMs jumping, or just the tach? (two very different problem trees)

Loose wiring connection is the most likely culprit.

That has happened to me before in my GSL-SE on very cold days. Now I am in Louisiana though so it doesn't get cold enough to do it anymore.

clean your trailing ignitor grounds and add some more dialectric grease, see if that helps
