Re: Help!
By more information we need to know what type of car (year, engine, tranny) and then we can start helping you out.
You may have a bad injector... just first thing that comes to mind.

Re: Help!
Mine had (has?) a similar problem. It's going all good and nice then it just like stalls (sorta) speed decreases then all of a suppen *bam* its going fine again. It also had times where it wouldn't go above 10mph (floored).
Has your TPS (throttle position sensor) been messed with any?
If anything run fuel injector cleaner through it, see what it does.
even though the intake is more directed towards idle, couldn't it still affect power when trying to drive? either way, if you have a stock intake, check for cracks.

Re: Help!
Well thanks for the help. I'll run injector cleaner now.
I changed my sparkplugs and it seems to run normal again. They didnt look bad, butI figured it was worth a shot to try. So if anyone has this problem try the sparkplugs, even if they look fine! LOL
hopefully it did the trick and it stays running right.
