As i was driving my car started to buck and and almost die. As i let out the clutch in first gear and try to move the car forward the rpms will jump to 2k then back to 1k then to 2k and the car bucks and bucks and i cannot get any further then this. It seems to idle fine, and starts right. Any suggestions would help please, as the car is stuck on the side of the road right now.
 
I dont think its mechanical, because of the way the rpms are acting. I guess it could be an intercooler pipe, I will have to check, just trying to get all suggestions. Im home now and the car is on the side of the road in a huge thunderstorm, of course. I want to have a few things to check before i go back.
 
the engine is acting stupid, not a mechanical type of problem I don't think. When i go to move and let the clutch out and push the gas the rpms start to move to 1.5 then it will be like the car died, and they will fall to 1k, then back up etc. All the while violent bucking and jerking. I cant get the car to move any faster than like 3 mph because of this obviously
 
i have a similar problem and cant drive my car. it will back in and out of my shop but thats about it. when i try to actually go down the road it wont let me rev up past like 1-2k and then just sputters and jumps but in neutral it will rev fine. its just pissing me off cause i just want to drive this thing. any help would be greately appreciated.
 
i just realized that my intake hose blew off under boost i feel lie an idiot but you should check your intake hose for any leaks
