Default acted like it was trying to die.

well i pulled up into the carwash today and put it in park. let it idle but the RPM's were fluctuating from 400-800 and a couple times started to shake and almost died. any ideas? i also have a miss at idle and still cant figure it out. still no codes but doesn't do it under load. any ideas? appreciate it!

Did it just start this out of the blue or did you change something?

out of the blue. i did fix my miss at idle though, it was the cheap *** ZEX s/c spark plugs i bought. put the original AC Delco's in and runs like a champ w/ a SMOOTH idle and no misfiring. yeah!

Put some NGK TR6's in, the stock plugs are too hot and can make your engine prone to detonate. They are cheap too like 1-2 bux each.
