yeah could be your coil that's crapping out on you take the coil out and look to see if there is any sign of erosion or burns.

Clean all the ports in your throttle body really good, clean the IACV, report back. I'll let you know what you can do next if this doesn't work.

actually i just cleaned my iacv no more than a week ago. im thinking that it might be my dizzy. when i drive the car(when it used to run) my rpm needle would start to jump all over the place. even now when i just rev it, after 3k the needle starts to jump again. what do you guys think??
