When you say 'the RPM's bounce', are you hearing the engine speed change
at the same time? You arent very clear on that.

If NOT, then get a TFI.. module on side of Distributor ( I thought the 95
had the 4.6????) Make sure you lube it fresh.

If Engine speed changes, in line with the tach reading:
Did you have cold starting/idle problems any time in the recent past? If
so, almost surely the IAC...

If you dont know what these things are.. and dont want your car to spend
mucho time in the shop, GET A BOOK!
