Default When i press Gad pedal down, rpm's drop, and almost stalls the car until i let go.

it does this while idl'ing, instead of revving, it drops, car has been sitting for 4 months, has low stale gas, old oil. Is it just in need of a tuneup? or is something else wrong?

is it throwing a code?.. 4 months isn't to bad, my HB ran with gas as old as over a year, it was pinging like hell but ran.. sounds like a bad TPS tho, but it would throw a code if it was bad.. just my 2 cents

sounds like you mismatch some sensors plug.

i have the same problem. But w/ me it only happens when the car is cold, Let it sit until its warmed up. then after rev it and see if it goes away. This is what i would do. And it started happening ever since it threw the TPS code. So change your TPS and it should go away hopefully.

Make sure all plug wires are on tight. Both ends
