Have a 04 2.7 and when you try to get going and give it gas it spudders and then takes off and( forward and reverse) when stopped the rpm's bounce between 2000 and 2700. Cleaned out throttle body. Any idea's??

I did and everything seems fine. Pulled one plug and it looked bad. Do you think it could need plugs and wires??

Plugs and wires should not make your engine rev 2000 - 2700 rpms. sounds to me more like a vac leak. Is your check engine light on?

No check engin light but sometimes driving and needing to give it gas to climb a hill the check engine light flashes on and off. In my first post I meant to say that the car idles between 500-800 rpms. Thanks

If the check engine light flashes , you should get it scanned to see if it stored any codes..
