Default RE: irratic acceleration

If you have a 5-speed, it sounds like a slipping clutch. Perhaps its worn out, or perhaps something is preventing it from fully engaging.

If you have an AT, then you may have an even more serious issue... unless its just the normal, odd behavior of the CVT type AT that is used.

Please post back your findings.
