When I'm accelerating hard, either from a stop or rolling, my car often pushes hard for a split second then bogs (doesn't push as hard) and and then works it's way back up. Doesn't anyone else experience this? Do I just need to get my valves adjusted or something else?

Nope, ain't the case. My friend with a 5spd lude has the same problem and said it's kind of chronic with ludes. So it isn't the trans. He suggest the valve adjustment, but I was wondering if anyone else knew?

And no, mine doesn't jerk, just goes hard for a sec, then slows and slowlys builds back up.

it cant be much of a valve adjustment...maybe fuel related. valve adjustment wouldnt really cause that much..could be spark related...
