Mine does the same thing under load. It's not all the time though, just after it wamrs up for a bit. When it does it, I can hear a sligh hissing, like possibly a vacuum leak, but I'm not sure, I haven't had time to check it. Can you hear a slight hissing too?

Re: help please car back fires and idels funny

my car used to do that when i first got it. I changed the opti, wires and plugs and it stopped doing it. I do have one problem and that is when ive been driving for a while(like you were describing) and i come to a stop, my engine starts to rev and car starts to surge forward. is this the "funny idle" you are talking about? if so read the "surging, reving on its own" thread. there are quite a few people in there with a similar problem.
