I have a '99 V8, 31K miles

About a month ago, it stumbled when I started it, I goosed the throttle, and it idled fine

I got in it today after work, and it would fire, but not stay running with my foot off the gas. I held my foot on the throttle to keep it running on my 15 mile drive home. At home it barely stayed running at about 400 RPM. Got in about an hour later, it started and ran normally.

Anyone have an idea what's going south? I'd hate to go in and have the Mechanic try to chase an intermittent problem for weeks

Thanks, Tom
