ok so last night im driving along the parkway...i get up to like 70ish and im almost at wot....i hear somethin that sounds like my bov letting off air but then the car just totally stalls....once i started it up again it only would stay running if i was on the gas a little bit...so i shut the car off and unscrew the biss and now its idling high but its not stalling
also before i unscrewed the biss the car would drop to zero idle then kick itself back up to 500 if i wasnt pressin on the gas...no fluids were leaking...im hopin this is a boost leak...ill be able to check my car out wednesday hopfully...till then its gotta sit...also while im posting...

sometimes when i get on the throttle in 2nd the motor will feel like its bumping and the car feels like it slows down then speeds up...only does it once and a while tho...

thanks for the help
 
either i agree with them, or it is some kind of intake vacuum leak. check the intake gasket, or the vacuum hoses to see if one or more fall off. some how there is not enough air getting to the intake, and its chokin itself out.
