I have a '94 firebird V6. It started running rough about a week ago. When I accelerate above 40 it acts like it cuts out and is******. When I am at a stoplight I have it in Drive and applying the brakes the RPMs jump up and down. But if I put it in Neutral it idles fine. And sometimes it even dies when I am at a stoplight. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. I dont have a code reader for a ODB1
