I'd start by changing the fuel filter. Does it do it on both tanks? Any codes? When was the last tune-up?

Mine is doing it too. Seems to be a common problem on these forums. Its a mystery. Everyone has changed something to everything to no avail. mine does it just as your is described but not all the time. It never does it when I take it to the shop. Sorry I didn't help much just a rant. Good luck, when you find it please post you results.

Hang on for 8 seconds for a full ride!

You've checked the obvious? Fuel filter, vacuum leaks, stuck or sluggish butterfly, Dist not advancing correctly?

Mine jumps around like an idiot usually when I'm a higher gear and let off the gas/coast. I either have to down shift to get the RPM's up or just push in the clutch and let it idle. I thought that was just cause I have a Big Ole Twuck. Guess I should pay attention to what you folks figure out.

Thanks, Dave
