Time to start diagnosising (sp?) some sensors and electrical connections. Throwing any codes? Is your idle surging? Start with checking your TPS sensor and IACV on the intake manifold.

Just a start for you.

Ok, "sound funny" doesn't say jack...

Does it warm up just fine? As in sit at about 1500-2000 PM while warming up, then it's supposed to sit at about ~750 RPM to warm up.

Check for any codes as well. Keep us posted.
