Past month now my car has been stumbling from 1500-2000RPMS. And no where after that, I even ran her through a few gears, but only happens in those RPMS while cruising through town. I dont think i ever noticed it when on the highway on cruise control though. Any ideas???

Fuel or spark related. Go though the wire and plugs and make sure everything is tight and dry. Check the fuel filter or change it if you haven't done so in a while.

When was the last time you changed the spark plugs?

I changed them in september I think, put in some cheapo autolites to get me by. But my intake is leaking(cheapo plastic, but I am looking for a PI one) Its cracked behind the alternator and cracked in the thermostat housing. So im gonna check my plugs because Ive went through this problem before, but I thought the JB weld quick fix was holding up fine. Lol i know a real shoddy fix, but I didnt have money for a 200 dollar intake at the time.

The leaking intake could be wetting the spark plugs.
