Engine problems

I noticed recently that the rpms jump around at ilde and driving, Sounds like there is a miss, and I get the occasional backfire every now and then. I have done nothing recently to the engine to cause this. Is this time for a tune up, or what would you recommend? Thanks

I would suggest getting the ignition module in the distributor tested. Just take it out and go to Advance auto or Oreilly`s and they can test it!!

Check your plug wires. I bet one (or more) popped off.
