what do you think?

whenever i come to a complete stop i feel my car "putter", almost like it's going to stall, rpm's drop....it does this every so often and whenever i bring it to the dealership they tell me, "seems like everything's ok, we dont feel anything"

but on some other days, she feels smooth-->anything like this happen to any of you guys?

Check out the usual suspects. Air filter and spark plugs. Are they clean?

Good luck. It could be other things. Maybe a dirty TB? You have a good reason to rip that out and clean it. That was fun when I did my spacers.

I installed the icebox


Actually, I never did anything to specifically address the problem. It just kinda stopped doing it. I think it's done it once in the past year or two. I just posted the link so you'd have some additional suggestions.
