go to autozone or another parts store and see if they have a scanner to pull codes. im thinking it may be the o2 sensor,and since you are there you can get the needed part

I've done so much,with so little for so long i can practicly do anything with nothing

weve taken it to autozone and got codes read-it says there was something wrong with the throttle sensor which i mentioned above and we put a new one on n it still does it,we unplugged all 02 sensors to try it without them and it still did it too

AHT
Have u looked at the fuel filter, air filter, cap, rotor...With the past vehicle I drove it did exactly what your stating, because of moisture in the cap rotor. Buy new ones and spray with wd40 wipe and air dry thouroughly. Replace dirty air cleaner and fuel filter. Also change your gas cap. Just some thought from past experiences and less expensive then a stop at dealer.

I experienced something like you about a year ago. We tested and replaced alsmost every sensor but nothing did help. At last we exchanged the engine computer and since that time the engine runs fine. I found the computer on EBay and payed $90 for it. Good Luck.
