also...
spark plugs (if you havent changed them recently, or if you have, check them),
If you have never cleaned the throttle body, and mass airflow sensor, then do a search on this forum and read about doing that. Pretty easy to do and can sometimes fix a small problem like this.

My last thought...How old is the battery? Doubt it is electrical but put a volt meter on it when off and it should read a little over 12 volts and when its running, it should read higher, preferably about a volt higher.


Sorry for all the random thoughts, its just tough to diagnose without knowing any of this.
thanks for the feedback man. Umm it's always kinda done it.. so i don't think it's gas related. it has about 58xxx on it. i just put in a k&n air filter so i don't think it'd be that.. The fuel filter and spark plugs haven't been changed to my knowledge. i bought it used in May. And i haven't cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor. And like you i don't really think it's the battery.. I don't know how old it really is, but it's good. i think. haha. Thanks for the help.
