Question RPM fluctuation at idle in drive or neutral?

Just picked up a 94 Z28 but it has a RPM fluctuation at idle and while in drive, it will drop down then go back up every once in a while, otherwise off idle it runs great.

Any idea's?


Very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Check for any vaccuum leaks.

Look for arcs coming through the coil case or grounding problems with wires near coil.

Mine used to do the same thing...drop about 100rpms then would pick back up. I had a very small vacuum leak. I also changed my plugs and wires at the same time. Not sure which fixed it but I am pretty sure it was the vacuum leak.
