I put this question in 2 forums b/c I really need an answer...

Alright, I am having a weird problem and I am not sure how to explain it. It happens I think only after my car is warmed up or on warm days like today. I have an S13 KA24DE Manual trans. When I accelerate it like wavers before it will accelerate and thats the best I can explain it...

I can drop it into like 4th on a normal time and it will accelerate fine, but then sometimes (usually when its warm) i drop it down a gear, press the throttle and drop the clutch and instead of accelerating, the RPMs will go up quickly like its doing something, but its not, the car is not accelerating at all like normal, then if i keep my foot on the gas at the same pressure the RPMs will then drop then work its way up accelerating slowly.

Or I will be on the highway in 5th and mash the throttle quickly and it will waver again, going up in RPM then dropping down and then accelerating. I feel like its a sensor and yes its doing it in all the gears.

It feels like its almost not getting enough air and its bogging or something?

not 100% sure whats up, does sound like an overheating clutch(maybe not broke in right), if you put it in a high gear and the cars rpms dont go up with MPH you have clutch problem.

Have no clue why it would loose all power then re~build maybe loose connection
