I got FBO gt 19 with 50k miles, sometimes in idle when the radiator fan starts running, the RPM fluctuates and sometimes it leads to stalling. Voltage is fine and have a new battery. Also, car starts fine.

Any codes?

Vacuum leaks, take a gander at air filter, verify fuel is correct, pull and look at plugs is where I’d start.

If it occurs exclusively when your electric fan kicks on I may also suggest you look at your alternator.

I’ve never been great at diag’ing that (electrical) stuff, but it might be your start.

No codes is my problem. I just changed spark plugs and O2 sensors and nothing changed.

I’d pull the plugs and take a gander at the gaps if this occurred with the change of them.

Otherwise, fancy scan tools with live data from a professional could help you out.

You could also pull the battery for 15 minutes and see what happens lol.
