Hey guys! recently..as of today, my jag has been dipping real bad when given gas to pull out onto a main road, and a little less noticeable while just driving and accelerating. It starts to go maybe 3 ft, RPM drops to virtually 0, the car dips violently, then it picks back up like nothing is wrong. only seems to do this when taking off. My dad thinks its looking for a gear in the tranny, but i think its more of a computer/fuel problem. Could it just be bad gas or need a tune up? i dont have any check engine lights on...although since this car is supposed to have a 5.3L v12 and not the 4.3L v6, ,im not sure if everything is connected to the right lights. it almost feels like how my 78 Camaro would respond when the choke was open too much and i gave it gas in the cold. What do you guys think this could be? Thanks!
