What in the world does that have to do with a driveability issue?

Please put some thought into your responses.

if hes idling on low rpm's and losing power, he should look at his oil pressure to see if hes making any. just making a suggestion by the information i had.

When was your last complete tune up? How does it run in the driveway when you hit the pedal? Any specific smoke coming out the back? What year, engine, and transmission do you have?

Tuneup was last august not even 15k ago and it'll fire up in the driveway. If I hit the gas it cuts out real bad

Get a gauge and check your fuel pressure next.
