Your probably have trouble with a oxygen sensor , check the one that goes on the intake, and the one on the header, those are the ones that go the fastest

Have you tried pulling the code to see what is going on?

Somewhere around your ecu behind the passenger side kick panel is a two prong connector that isn't attached to anything. Should be a blue connector if i remember right. Anyways, you have to use a piece of wire or something to jump the two prongs in the connector together. Turn your ignition to on and then your cel will start to flash a code. for example; If it flashes like this

Flash...flash pause flash...flash...flash That would be code 23
2 flashes pause 3flashes

Let us know what you find. (PS sorry if you already knew all that)
