Default What could this be??

Now when I really get on it my car does fine but then when I go for third gear it always seems like it misses for a quick second then runs smooth through the rest of the gears. Here is what it exactly does, as soon as I get off the clutch and floor the gas it's almost like the car is off then all of a sudden it jerks the power back on. So I ran a check and I'm gettin no misfiringcodes, so is everything alright? Correct me if I'm wrong but when a car misses doesn't it just like have therough and cutting out feeling? What else could this be?

is it laging, like the old turbo's with turbo lag. only in third so that would not be a tune up. Maybe a dirty IAC but I have only heard of that bouncing idle. I would try doing a hard reset on the confuser first. disconnect the battery.

yeah it just feels like it is hesitating but it definatly feels like it's going into gear. One more thing is that it doesn't do this all the time.

Weird, how high in the revs are you when you shift into third. As in where in second are you when you shift. Could be that you're shifting too early so its bogging a bit idk

I think what they are saying is just to check and make sure you're not just dropping the clutch completely out before you give it a little gas, that'd cause it to lurch.

I don't understand fully what you're saying it's doing, so, maybe it could be fuel delivery.

Sometimes when I shift real fast it does that. Its almost like the engine lags a little bit then goes back to WOT.
