I would first check the fuel injection... Start at the shrader vavle on the fuel rail, with the key in the on position use something small to push in the needlevavle in... The fuel should hit the hood if it has correct fuel pressure... If it seems weak than I would check the filter and pump..
 
By normal driving gear i am going to assume you're driving an automatic? Is there any more info you can give on this situation? Like are you accelerating, decellerating, cruising? Any check engine light?
 
Sorry forgot to mention its a 5 speed n it does it every now and then when I'm accelerating n also when I'm cruising

No codes
 
Hmmm... I think im gonna 2nd that motion on testing fuel pressure. Do your rpm's drop pretty low? Have to shift into a lower gear to keep it going? Maybe for safe measure check and clean your MAF sensor.
 
fuel pump? fuel pressure regulator? vaccuum lines? vac line to fpr? maybe a spark plug wire is jumping ground (check it at night, let her idle, look under hood for purple sparks) bad coolant sensor harness? etc hope it helps
 
Ok I think I found the problem, upon replacing the fuel filter which was brown as hell from the inside I noticed the line that goes from the fuel filter to the motor is pinched right at the filter where the banjo bolt, by the way no gas leaks from it but i do know theres probably barely any gas passing thru cause its pinched so Now my question is do I have to replace the whole line which runs under the car or is there any other way I can fix this.....one more thing I forgot to add is that the car drives real good with the line being pinched just I get the bogging n hesitation every now and then...
