I'm having problem with the RPM guage fluctuating when i'm at 3-4k. I notice the care hesitating at those RPM reading? Could it be my ignition system?

Injectors and Fuel filter would be my first areas of investigation. There are a number of other things that you may need to consider based on what all you've done. ECU is also important. You need to elabore with much greater detail to give us enough information to help you diagnose the problem.

Look at the posts and lemme know if you need any specific help. It drove me crazy for 2 months until I found it was a loose ground wire.
Good luck!

i change the engine ground and my car still has the same problem. When I'm driving the car just shut off when I shift to neutral and come to a complete stop. My car jerks when I begin to accelerate and seem like it gonna turn off agian. I gonna try switch out my performance spark plugs and try to put some cheap ones in. If anyone could help me please leave some suggestion.

thanks

Ok, which "engine ground" did you change? There are more than one, so did you inspect them all? I'm not talking about the ground on the battery itself, but the various grounds in the engine compartment that ground to the engine block or the body. I'm gonna need more info. Is your car auto or manual?
If it just started happening all the time, it's not your spark plugs. Did u look for my posts?
