Of course we can Mr. 1 post. Are you going to continue to be a member of H-T and contribute to the forum, or are you just saving some money by skipping out on the dealership? ...no offense.

There are many things that can cause this to happen. Three likely possibilities are low compression, valve adjustment out of spec, and the most common, a clogged Idle Air Control Valve. Good luck.

Dude, simply put, buy a damn Hayne's manual. I guarantee that it'll be worth the 10 bucks you spent on it.
