Default 97 auto LS fluctuating idle while driving!

Let me start off by saying thank you guys for any info given to me.

This problem started about 2 days ago, as im driving the idle is @ 3k and it bogs down to 1.5k and doesnt go up until i press on the gas and when it does it has trouble getting passed 2.5k.

Not only that but other times that im driving the rpm's would fluctuate between 2 and 3k wtf!?

It feels as if the throttle cable is getting stuck around 2-3k.

can the tranny have anything to do with this? or injectors?
what would be the best places to start looking into?

Can you rev your engine all the way? If no check your distributor.

I can rev it all the way. I'm going to check the fluid when I get home.

Does your engine SOUND like its misfiring? If not it could be a clogged fuel filter, fuel line, or Fuel Pressure Regulator. Of course check grounds, and battery voltage. Then go get a timing light and see if your timing is right. If its not that, check your air filter, and then throttle cable. Also check plugs, and then plug wires, all the way to the dizzy. Those are pretty well the main fuel/air related problems, you've probably checked all of this stuff, hope it helps somewhat

If you have a check engine light on, go to checker or where ever and borrow their code reader and pull the code.

yes my 94 ls auto used to do the same bogging down until i hit over 3k when i first started it up but after that it was fine and still does from time to time. but i lately put a skunk2 intake manifold on and when i took old injectors out i didnt noticed but i broke one of the pins on the injector and it bogged so bad i didn't know what it was until h.t. told me to check those injectors again and sure enough. not really much help but plan on finding out a simalar problem me and you have.
