Exclamation weird idle...no power! help me plz!

somebody help me, please.

a month ago my 92 pro LX started idleing very low [-500 rpm]. and it would nearly stall [never actually did, rpm's surged to save enginge]. i cahnged the oil and put some fuel injection cleaner in my tank...seemed to solve the roblem...for 3 days!

then i put in some "HEET" and treated my fuel for water...that worked too...and again for only 3 days! now its doing it again, and my oil seems to already be low.

what the hell?! at first it seemed like a basic maintinence type thing. now....i dont know.

i lack any power and torque i had before...

somebody plz help! thanks a ton!

Check the timming belt to see if it has skipped a tooth. Remove the timming belt cover to see if all the timming marks align like they're suppose to.

Try replacing the EGR valve.
