Default Herky Jerkiness

From 1000-3500 rpms the car is VERY jerky to the point it looks like I can't drive. What could be a possible cause that I can start checking? Fuel filter changed 20k miles ago, plus changed and gapped 15k miles ago, problem started roughly 10k miles ago.

Running XPT Extreme Stg 2 GM BCS map (the one you pay for).

Also have a non-firing condition: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1559402

I kinda have the same problem sometimes where it feels like the clutch is grabbing and slippin and then grabbing during 1k rpm to about 2.5k rpm.

i think its cuz i have a stock clutch and flywheel and need it replaced....so it could be a clutch slip if you know what it feels like, unless your talking like the engine is the problem and not a transmission feel like i have.

This has nothing to do with the clutch or transmission. It's an RPM-related thing, not a gear-dependent thing.

It does it really bad in 1st gear, less bad in 2nd gear, and hardly in 3rd gear, but ALWAYS at that RPM.

it sounds like you might have a pre-turbo intake leak.

have you tried using the maf tool? or logging a/f learning and a/f correction?
