I'm going to have to say that you're going to have to be a whole lot more specific.
Yank doesn't mean anything to me. Tell us what the CAR did/is doing. As many specifics as possible.
(BTW, for the noobs here, his brother has an imaginary 95SESC with 495hp, he uses his brother'* login).

Were there noises associated with the yanking?
When you say yank...did it buck or yank?
Could you merely have a bad batch of fuel? The info you give is not enough to try and diagnose like said before.

maybe im just not drunk enought yet, but i read both posts twice, and im not sure what he is talking about still... the only thing i could determine could be the cause in my confusion would be either a TCC or Transmission problem

I believe that last post by 495hp guy takes the award for the longest sentence.
Try retyping what you said, but don't use the word "yank" and maybe try slowing down a bit and typing full words to minimize confusion.
The first step in diagnosing this is to get a scantool to communicate with the computer. You need to find out why the check engine light is on.
