i had a burned wire for a couple of days and hte car was running kinda kinda bad but i had to drive it. today the car was idleing in park. and all of a sudden it almost turned off and then next thing i know i see the rpms jumping up and down non stop. they are not really moving according the the real rpm of the engine. i finally put in a good wire, the car doesnt stumble as bad as it was. but it stubles a little at low rpm. it pulls good and runs good above 1k rpm but the rpms dont even go up to 3k at WOT.

maybe it still stubles cause of a foul plug from running it like that for a few days? i'll change the plug tommorow but whats the deal with the rpms? the batter is new.

another thing i just notice is that the fuel pump started to prime for a long time. i turned the key and the pump prime for like 10 seconds, it usually only does it for 2-3sec's. i hope its not going bad. theres more than 1/2 a tank of gas in there and it has a 2month old walbro.
