Sometimes my car will have issues acceleration from a total stop. I'll start to accelerate and it will lose rpms and die. It feels as if it has a dead zone in the rpm/throttle or something. Sometimes when i accelerate normally it will drop to like 10 rpms and almost die then come back to the right amount of rpms (1500 when accelerating). So i'll basically go from 10 rpms to 1500 in about 1/4 of a second. if it doesn't die. When I feel it dying i'll kinda feather the throttle and resume at again 1500rpms.

Recent changes was from CFI to my current setup in my signature.

Thank you.

Does it make a difference warm or cold? Does it idle fine?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

it idles just need to set the idle speeds. Only does it when cold. and I probably should look for a vacuum leak.

Thanks for the replies.
