Re: running rough through rpm range

uh yeah... they only came in 3.0 v6's for 12 years... anyway... by 'jump around' you mean rev up higher than it should be when he accelerates? could be a slipping clutch... put it into 4th gear where it's at 2k rpm and floor it... if the rpm's go up without accelerating, his cluch is on its way out/dead.... the bad gas mileage could be a number of things... has he done a tune up lately? (air filter, fuel filter, plugs, injector cleaner) that could be the cause of the rough idle/dying when it's cold... little more detail would be helpful
