somethings wrong with my car


today i get up and start driving to the gas station and on the way i realize my car is acting funny. i will be driving in 3rd or 4th then come to a stop light and engage the clutch and put it in neutral and the rpms raise to 2500 and stay there for around 10 seconds then suddenly drop and it even stalled once when it dropped. my clutch seems to be working fine its grabbing where it always does, and theres no problem getting into any of the gears. i dont know what could cause this so any help is appreciated

I had the same issue with my car. If need to get a tune if you've modified it in any way. Mine did the same thing after I put full exhaust in and its because my 02 sensors were telling the ECM the air flow wasen't correct; therefore, it threw everything off balance. Definately get a tune, but I suggest if your going to do other mods then wait it out and don't beat on your car. A good tune will run you from $300-500 depending on where you go and who you know.
