RE: dont know whats wrong

is it an automatic? How extreme is it reving up to and then down? Is the car loosing all the power to the wheels when it rev's up?

RE: dont know whats wrong

are you losing power to anything? sounds like either an ignition short or some kind of tranny slipping. fuel cut can be ruled out becuase rpms wouldnt go up or down for that, you would just feel jerks.
