I have a 95 eclipse automatic non turbo 420A . I have not gotten any mods done to it not even exhaust or intake. When i am taking off from a stop the car is very sluggish till i get to about 1500 RPM and then everything is fine. If i go above about 3500 RPM the car begins to jerk. IT does not seem to be at shift points. I have been trying to trouble shoot it for a while. there is a list of what has been done recently
transmission computer
ECM
fuel filter( both in line and in the fuel tank)
Tune up (NGK plugs and wires, coil pack, PCV valve)
TPS
MAP sensor
vacuum lines have been examined for breaks
car taken to two transmission shops both said transmission was fine
cleaned out pipe from EGR valve to intake
cleaned throttle body
new air filter

I think that is about it. My next step is to take the car to the dealer although i would prefer to fix it myself. any tips would be greatly appreciated
 
No it does not happen during free revving. I figured i was going to have to take it to the dealer I just have not had the money to do it yet,
 
its got to be timing/spark related. When load is created on the engine, it is harder for the spark to jump the gap in the cylinder that is combusting. It seems that the problem only persists under those high load conditions. correct?
