yo yo, so i bought the car in early april. when i was driving it home it started idling bad, like from 1100/1200 to 400, dropping and rising while i was waiting at a light. I kept revs at 1500 with my foot on the gas slightly, didn't think it was more than the engine not being run for a while. i came home and it was all fine until yesterday.
Thursday i changed the oil, hadn't really drove it since and then saturday at night it started up again while i was warming the car up. Change of plans while i was warming it up, i found a ride as it was raining hard and didnt want to drive in the rain, so i put the car back and it started the issues (had not been idling wierd when i STARTED the car, only when i pulled it back into the garage)
Today, sunday, i took the car out to the drift spot and on my way, about 1/4 way up the thermostat do it was warming up, it started while i was at a light. It went from 1100/1200 to 200/300!!! it almost stalled because it was going so low, and it kept rattling like it does when it stalls.
Haven't gotten a tune-up yet because i havent had the money, but before i do so what should i look at?
