punch it!

Someone tell me if my car is supposed to do this. I was driving home today and decided to near-floor the gas pedal. The car did this jumping thing, like it wasn't getting enough gas. I have noticed a slight mis-fire in the engine too. Any ideas? How would I go about fixing the mis-fire? The spark-plug wires are relatively-new Bosch 8mm wires. I think they are about 1 to 2 years old. Thanks guys

Check the spark plugs and if those are good, check the firing order.

o.k. sadly the spark plugs are fine (gap, build-up or the lack thereof, etc...) so now I am at an impass. I had a friend tell me to check the feul filter and then maybe the feul pump. About how much would these run me? Could either of these be causing my problem? Thanks again for all the advice. Oh, and I noticed a strange clicking sound coming from the engine bay. It sounds like a really thin fan hitting something. No, it's not the fan God I wish my car had more balls.

Let me kinda rephrase my problem. Where I live the speed limit in housing is 15 m.p.h. (strictly enforced ). my car does this jumping thing at about that speed. My dad has a truck that can do the same speed, only without the jumping. It's more annoying now, but then again, so is the whole car. I gotta get a new one . Thanks

does the jumping only happen when you let off the gas at 15? if so switch out of first and then it probably wont do that. Another thing that i have seen cause "loss of power" when there is a demand for it was the ignition coil needed changing.

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao
