Check your coil packs and the connections to the PCM.
Did you put the Champion copper plugs (OEM)?

well I dont want to jinks it. but i do believe problem fixed!! after i unhooked the negative Battery cable to reset the computer and fixed an exhaust leak it has not dropped under 750 rpms.

i am wonder if an exhaust leak could of been the problem from the start. was leaking at the manifold flange. due to broken bolt. was the o2 sensor getting to much air and was making it run rich so at idle it was flooding it self out. oh well running good now

thanks for everyones help

went from 6mpg pulling 10k trailer to 8.25ish. so it has been all worth it
