Mmm, turns out it wasn't that, I feel kind of retarded to say this, but it was a spark plug wire that had laid over the EGR hose and melted to it, caused it be short and behave VERY oddly :s

Is your an Auto?

yea mine is an auto. when i checked my tranny fluid was extremely low.

it was running ok under normal driving conditions but when i floored it it made like a screeching noise and car lost power, rpms dropped. after i added some lucas tranny fix it didnt help.
i was driving home last night and it was barely running it felt like the car was stuttering

if you were running it low on fluid there is a good chance something is messed up.
