Default Random power?
Ok, i was going down my street today when I noticed a power surge in my car. So I held my foot steady thinking I punched it and it turns out that my car surges.
The RPM's stay the same, but my car will jump forward then slow down, then jump forward and slow down. Its noticable when im driving...
Any ideas of what could cause this?

yea im pretty sure that your crank is about to break, this happened to one of my friends, its the crank flexing and not giving the power to the transmission that way it needs to
