Exclamation

Thanks for the response.
I have tried it with the car in park and reved to 2000 rpm. It runs PERFECT. I've held the throttle at various positions upto about 2400 rpm without any problem.
BUT when you put in drive and get up to about 30 miles per hour, is where it starts to be noticable. The RPM drops a couple hundred RPMs every 3 seconds (stays down for one second, then goes back up for 3 seconds).
One thing I don't think I said was that I just bought the car and the altanator was making noise, so I put in a new altanator. (the bad thing is I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE NEW ALTANATOR). It could have been there before, but I didn't notice it (was more worried about the noise from the altntr). Is there a possibility it was the new altanator? (or just coincidance?)
