You saw that it was running Saturday. Not very observant for a law enforcement officer are you?

Other than being an pain in the arse from time to time with not wanting to idle it's doing pretty well I guess.

Ok, so the car's been up and running for a while now with no major issues after resetting the idle air again (thanks Tommy) other than sometimes it would decide it didn't want to idle and would simply die at a red light.

So, the idle was reset again for a third time, and this time the TB was opened a little more. The good news is the car has not died at idle since.

Now for the less than good:

On intial start up it often runs like it's not firing on all cyl's when you first try to start off and will then back fire and then "straighten out". It has also started bucking now and again at cruising speeds of 70-80 on the hwy in 5th, which it had not done with me in the car prior. It also bogged down a couple of times almost immediately backfiring and then clearing up ... ignition problem?

The check engine light has started going on and off as well. o2 sensor?

I wasn't the one that re-adjusted the idle this time so I'm not sure what all was changed, but the bucking has got to go.

Any ideas?

Check for vacuum leaks and check the MAF

If it's spitting and backfiring, it sounds like it's having a lean-out condition. Get a wideband on it for some measurements.
