    fluctuating rpm's

    No. Its not surging under load. In fact it seems fine out on the road doing 60 or more. I haven't had it do the rough idle and missing for a week or so. maybe I need to go put my foot in the throttle hard and let it eat and see if it acts up.

    Inflation of add on air bags.
