1992 Bonneville SE - engine stutters badly wont idle -
This is my moms car she said it was fine when she went to work but when she went to go home it wouldnt idle by itself. Then when you give it gas it has alot of stuttering but if you rev it high and tap the gas pedal it will smoothe out for a minutew or two then go back to stuttering. I changed spark plugs, plug wires, and the fuel pump relay. The fuel filter was changed bout a year or so ago - but for 10 bucks I am changing it again to make sure. All the fluids oil, tranny, and coolant are all full when I first checked car out. I have a fuel pressure gauge new in the box, I never used one of those before hopefully I can do it right.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

How did the fuel pressure test come out?
It could be the Idle Control switch... If you can find a person with a computer to hook up to your mama'* car... it might have fliped a code.. and you can check the calibration of the idle control switch... It cost me something like $25 to get it done and to have my switch recalibrated...

heres what we replaced
We replaced, plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, fuel pump and strainer, regulator, and Idle Air Controller, and also the fuel pump relay. Still does same thing so we towed to a shop to be put on a diagnostic. Will know something next cpl days they think somethings wrong with the CPU. Shoulda just took it in to begin with... *sigh*
