HOWEVER, now it has a new problem: When I am driving and gasing it hard, there will be moments where the rpm would suddenly drop as if the car dies out, and I lose power for a couple seconds, but yet, the engine does not die out??? The engine will kick back and keeps running. This is more pronounced with I am passing or trying to get up a hill. When the car is idle, it seems to do this about about 4,000 rpm.
So, I changed out the 2 O2 sensors and got a new fuel filter this weekend ... but still got the same problem! HELP!!!

hey does your car jerk as the rpm's drop like it's misfiring (similar to knock sensor kicking in)?
my car has been hesitating & jerking intermittenly as i drive around 70-80mph. i guess it normally jerks around 3200-3300rpm & could be violent at certain times. i've changed out the plugs/coils/fuel pressure regulator/coolant temp sensor already & made sure there's no vacuum leaks. also there are no codes showing up. the next thing i was going to get is the crank sensor. but now i see your post, i'm wondering if it's my camshaft sensor.
please let me know.
thanks in advance.
