car cuts out up top

sometimes while getting on my car at about 5k it cuts out for a split second like a rev-limiter than it keeps pulling. sometimes it does it twice. was wondering what could be causing this?? if anyone has similar problems please let me know what you found it out to be.

Re: car cuts out up top

ive heard of that being the opti before, but i have to go with bstieboydp on this one. i use to have the same problem, changed my fuel filter just because i didnt know when it had been changed last and havent noticed it doing that since then. so for $15 and a little bit of time its definately worth checking .. sure beats jumping straight for the opti..

Re: car cuts out up top

When I was having that problem it turned out to be a bad coil. Maybe one of your coil packs are bad?
