When I'm idling I can see my RPM needle jumping around from 800rpms to 1500rpms. The engine doesn't actually rev up and down...its just that the RPM needle twitches - it doesn't happen all the time, just once in a awhile. What reads the RPMs? the CPS? I believe my CPS is leaking some oil, so I'm not sure if that is realated. So if anybody could help me out - thanks.
Also lately the car has problems starting and idling at times- it takes a lot of cranking to get it to start - and sometimes it backfires and I can smell gas. It seems that one of the cylinders isn't firing / getting a spark? So if this is not related to the above I'm guessing I need to change the spark plugs. It's been a year since I last had them changed.
Thanks for the help in advance.
