Default Weird idle?

Sup fellas, Anyone have a issue with there idle?? lately My idle is acting weird usually after I fill up or put gas in period lol..this never happened before in the past. It sounds like it's gonna shut off then Revs up then drops then revs up? After couple mins of driving it goes away Any ideas?

Water in gas tank? Add a can of heet. An injector acting up? Add Techron Fuel Treatment. Use Tier 1 gasoline

Techron is Exxon's/Mobil fuel injector cleaner. Sold at parts stores. They also add in their normal gasoline formulation. Next cheapest is to rid any water that MIGHT be in your fuel tank by adding bottle of HEET. If using some off brand gasoline, try BP, Mobil, Exxon, Kwik Trip, Phillips or another gas station mentioned in your area.

Ok I'll try some. I only use Sunoco gas. I've searched a lot I see some people have the same issue but no solution.

So I guess the only thing to try is an additive?

It does sound like water in your gas. Like he said, try HEET because it does take out water in your gas. Is that the only thing that's going on with the car?

Symptomatic of a dirty TB and/or fuel filter. How many miles on the car? Wouldn't hurt to run a tank or 2 of SeaFoam.
