rpm's go everywhere then car dies

Just last night started the car and it was good. Drove about a mile and I was stopped at a red light and all of a sudden the RPM's shot to 2000 back down to 500, did this for a couple seconds then want to die. I drove it all day with no problems at all and then all of a sudden this happened. Its pretty much stock except for the minor mods in the sig. Im thinking its either ignition or fuel related. Any suggestions would be great. :hail:

I'm not sure, I just got sick of my car dying all the time after driving it for 10 or 15 minutes so I took it in to the shop and had them hook it up to the computer diagnostic thing.

My poor bird's just sitting there in my driveway lonely now. :-(
