is it like a slow "surge' drop... or like a fast "flick" drop!!

bucause the slow one might be as stated b4 a vacume leak..

but i had a fast flicky RMP,, and it was a bad connection at the Alternator.

get a fuel injector cleaner, maybe an octane booster.. check the plugs, and the plug wires.some cars just don't run well on regular gas.

pretty sure the inj. are not the prob. they had a motor vac ran on them a few months back, and they ran fine up to the point of swaping the block. i did go up in comp. to about 12:1 so that could be the issue, and i checked for a vac leak and found nothing. i did have to swap the tps from the new throttle body back to the old one. could the position of that have something to do with it? i set it at 5 volts roughly.
