ok.. as i am driving along the road ill start to accelerate a little hard and the car starts bucking and jumping around...i def think its from the motor but im not too sure...anyone think it could just be that i need new motor mounts? or somethin else? :confused:

thanks
 
It could be wheel hop, my car has horrible engine mounts on it and during acceleration the I feel the engine engaging and diseganging but it doesn't feel like a rodeo.

well it doesnt go crazy just like feels like it stops then goes...
 
Not sure exactly what you mean by your post. Does it feel like the motor is flexing, or does it feel like it's bogging down under load? Bogging could be a couple things, the motor movement could be another. Have you applied throttle while parked to see if the motor has an excess amount of movement?

Also check the tranny mounts.

If it's just hard thudding than I would say it's your motor mounts. By the way where is that in NJ?
