Have a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo. AFTER driving for 5 minutes, when Accelerating, teh Tachometer Drops in RPM. Car still runs, no warning messages, etc. Just want to know what to replace and/or look at. Have been told stuck throttle body (that didn't fix it), throttle position sensor, spark plugs, etc? Any help is appreciated

You can't just throw parts at it. You have to do some testing and diagnosis to try to isolate the cause. I would take a pressure test on the exhaust system looking for a restricted Catalytic Converter.
