Question

I own a 88 Ramcharger, 318 TBI, 2WD, and have had a continuous problem with it. When I first start it up the RPM's surge. While driving at low speeds it sometimes does the same. Occasionally when accelerating from a stop it will spit and sometimes die. Other times it will accelerate very well. I don't notice any problems when driving above 35 or so. The gas mileage around town is approx 10mpg and 14-16 on the hwy. I have replaced cap,rotor,plugs,wires,air and fuel filter,throttle position sensor, and oxygen sensor. The computer flashed codes for O2 sens. but doesn't show any problems since replacing it. Help!!

Check the obvious stuff first. The egr could be plugged. Also check the belts on the alternater. Mine was slipping a bit at idle and the car would start to run rich and eventually die. Seems it was not providing enoygh juice at idle to keep the igniton firing strong, pretty wierd. Good luck, cruzerjd
