Default What Is Causing This????

Got in the car yesterday, and she fired right up. Let it idle for 30 seconds and then backed out. Headed to the nearest main road and was off to my office. Approximately 1.5 miles down the road I realised that my car was WAY down on power...look down and none of the dummy lights are on, however the idle has droped to the very first hash mark - approximately 250rpm.

I quickly pull over and inspect the car...no problems that I can see...yet she is idling REALLY low, and sounds almost like those old muscle cars with the radical lope.

The car will rev up but will not maintain the rev...ie, I can get it to rev to 5,000rpm, but even with holding steady pressure on the peddle, the rpms will drop. This morning, I started the car, and it ran fine...however after about 3 or 4 minutes, the problem returned. I think it is a fuel problem, but I am not sure, and I have no idea where to begin.

I am drawing a blank. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Here is a video of what the car is doing...PS - all the oil on the ground is from my Corvette project, NOT the 930...

Maybe check your WUR has the electrical lead plugged in & getting 12V. Also check there is actually an electrical resistance at the WUR.
Check the IC O rings.

I'd change the fuel filter first.

If it smells stinking rich then it's most likely your WUR like Nathan says as mine's done it in the past, not quite dropped as low as yours does but similar
