Starts great, but runs really rough, While driving its rough until you tramp it, Once in awhile it will run like new no problems but not for long problem returns. usually it will stall at low idle after a run but will start back up.

Thanks

Start with a diagnostic code test, not all codes will set a check engine light, run the test and report any codes set in the system for more assistance.
