Default rpm bounce?

Who posted about their rpms bouncing all crazy like the car was going to die?

Last night i was leaving my brother's and it was really foggy out. Well i started the car and started to weasel my way out in between 2 cars. I backed up stopped to pull forward and the rpm's started bouncing between 500 & 1000. It started to soundlike it may die so i brought it up to 1100 for about 30 sec. and it was fine.No cell or code. It seems like the car has got something up its *** since the weather started getting warmer almost like its a choke issue.

Then driving down this back road hit this nasty pot hole which ill post pics of later since its light out now, but i am getting a mild shake at 40 mph. [:@]

When it rains it pours! [&o]
I do love her though cause i asked her if she's going to give me problems to wait till it gets warm out.

THat looks like the streets where I live!!! LOL

As for the RPM bounce my car was doing that to. I change the plugs and it seemed to help it. How long has it been since you have done that?

by friends S4 used to do that after he got a chip and upgraded turbos and the rpms would bounce all the time. Ended up he had to get it dynoed to tweak a couple things on the chip. Just a thought to keep in mind..... by the way, how you like that mtm chip and exhaust?? I know the exhaust sounds real good but its not in price range.
