I think I even felt a little ruffnous (?) I take that question mark to be a cry for help. The word you're looking for is roughness.

It it funny when I know I'm spelling something wrong, but am to lazy to run a spell check.

The first thing I would do, and it would cost next to nothing, is run a couple of full tanks of gas through with a good fuel system cleaner just to see if there's any noticeable difference. Secondly, I would change the trans fluid/filter because you've got quite a bit of mileage on it, so you should do that anyway. Your last post, Randy, reminded me of a '97 Chev S10 I used to own. Whenever I used to drive up the hills north of me, the truck would start 'chugging' and lose power, even if I floored it, and the engine light would come on. It only seemed to do it when the engine was loaded, like going up a hill, but not on level roads. I traded it in before confirming any problem, but I'm sure it was a bad sensor which caused it(fuel/oxygen). Can you feel anything through the accelerator pedal? does it feel like the engine is faltering or is the engine feeling/sounding consistant while it makes the 'ruffnous'.

Had the problem "fixed" 3 times (twice as a recall, 3rd time Chev refused to pay for it). Basically a poorly designed ABS sensor in the front wheel hubs that malfunction, creating longer stopping distances even on dry pavement. There are numerous complaints/accidents on the 'net about this...I had several close calls in parking lots, at traffic lights, pulling into my driveway but worst of all I almost couldn't stop in a gas station one time and nearly pinned a woman to the back of her car.
