ok so i'm gonna try to explain this the best i can.

After full clutch engagement, slowly increasing the throttle, the car will not move according to how apply the throttle.
There is a "lunging" feeling, or somewhat of a "jerking" feeling upon low to moderate acceleration.
It seems to happen the most at slow moving speeds around 1st and 2nd gear.

For example, i'll be in traffic..this is usually the case in shitty north jersey.
-Traffic has moved up.
-I just engaged the clutch and am going pretty much as slow as you can go in 1st.
-I am applying very light throttle to keep moving at this slow speed.
-Traffic speeds up.
-I notice and apply a slightly firmer pedal.
-I can hear the load increase, and i accelerate slighty....but not the amount of pedal that i gave it.
-Here comes the lunge forwards..and we're up to pedal application now.

The only thing i've suspected so far is clutch operation.
This car has a 6-puck from driftmotion.
I remember by stock clutch didn't feel like this, but then again, that was a whole different car..

I don't think it's a misfire because it doesn't feel that way..but if i can be...how can i test it?

Maybe a throttle linkage issue?

Anyone experience this?
Any ideas?:1zhelp:

resistances where all bad and it was sticking, cleaned it and it stopped sticking but the reistances where still bad...

Replacing made a world of difference.

Any codes? The tps can get "flat spots", so the voltage is intermittant, making the car jumpy. Look for the writeup on how to spec it out. I'd check for any vacuum leaks as well. gl.
