RPM drop/fluctuation
First Post.
I drive a stock '90 RS V8 5L. When I'm "idling" in gear. (foot on the brake at a stoplight or foot off the brake but no gas engaged) I notice the engine drops 5ishRPM and then back to idle rhythmically. In some cases this causes my engine to shut off while in motion so it is dangerous.
Sorry if this is poorly-worded. What could this be? I have very little car experience.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.
I moved this to the TBI forum. Figured you're more likely to get useable responses here.
