Whats up with my car??? When I do normal accel then it does fine.. but when I get on it a lil it does a *wah wah wah wah wah* thing like its humping the road. Any ideas?? Ive been patient with it but am getting annoyed.

Scan for codes. Sounds like an ignition problem to me. Assuming your plugs and wires are still good, do the coil pack troubleshooting and code scanning in Techinfo.

Mine did the same thing one night out of nowhere. I was racing it a bit before and it ran fine. Then it started hesitating and basically doing what you described. I turned the car off and started it again and it was fine, and has been fine ever since. :?

Idle'* fine. Starts fine. Revs fine. But under accel load it does ... well say "wah wah wah wah wah" thats what it sounds like. Sort of like I cant accel unless I slam the pedal or let off a bit. :?

sounds like a tranny issue, i went through this one already, i replaced all coils,plugs,wires, and ended up finding out it was the valve body inside the trans, take it to a tranny shop and see if they can help u out, after exhuasting all other options first. good luck.
