Idle Problem.......

My car idles a little rough but thats not the only problem. Sometimes it doesnt even idle steady. Sometimes it will just move up and down from about 1500 rpms all the way down to about 200 rpms. When it gets really low like that, sometimes it dies. It only does this part of the time. Other then that it idles at about 1000 and is just a little bit rough. But I am more concerned about when it moves. Any suggestions????

Are you running the stock fuel pump? If so get an aftermarket pump and put in a regulator, dial it in to about 3 psi. Then check your timing, compression and sparkplugs. Have you changed you dizzy cap and rotor button lately?

hope it helps

peace
