when i start to let out first gear the car seems to buck or even hickup and die for just a second then picks back up.

ive noticed a loss in power, gears run out alot longer, less accelleration.

when idling in neutral (sitting in driveway) a quick press of the throttle leads to the r's coming up but with what allmost sounds like a miss......or a hickup....something....i dont friggn know

checked gap on spark plugs, had an exhaust leak right before the cat, fixed that. no check engine light, just ordered a new coil and new spark plug wires.

what am i not seeing here?

> gears are about 5-10mph higher then they were at 3k rpm.
>> engine seems to slam when its given a decent amount of gas when in the low end of a gear (2-3.5k)

Hows your A/F Ratio?
