    Intermittent weird problem...annoying

    So lately the cobra has been acting up in an annoying manner. So, half the time the car starts and drive perfectly normally. However, the other half, its been doing this. At start up, revs drop immediately instead of holding 1000rpm and dip to 750ish or so. Vacuum is low, i.e. at 5...
