It will idle fine and in neutral the car will rev up just fine with no funny sounds. But when I put it in gear and push on the gas it will continuously jerk and pull as it gains speed till it reaches the top speed of that gear. Put it into next gear and it will do the same thing. I can go 50mph with a steady constant speed (no jerks or pulls) the only way I have found to keep it from pulling like that is to slowly (and I mean slowly) release the clutch as Im giving it gas. It more or less sounds like it has asthma, not sure if its not getting gas or something to do with the clutch. Im about to change the spark plug wires and spark plugs but if you can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Changing the ignition wires is a good place to start with this symptom. When you remove the old ones check the inner plug boots and the coil boots for a green or white powderish residue. That is a good indicator of moisture getting inside. Spend the money on a good set of wires. A good set is about $50. Make sure you put the dielectric grease in the boots before you install them. If the plug wires don't come with it, you can purchase it in tubes. Let us know how you make out.

Thanks for the help. Sorry it took me so long to repost but I havent had time to work on the car yet because of all the Christmas stuff going on. But I will be sure to let you guys know how it turns out. I will also take a look at the fuel filter if the plugs dont make a diff. Once again, thank you for everything.

About the fuel filter: If that one uses the flare nuts under the car put some penetrating oil on the connections now. They can get so stuck you about have to change the lines for the new one, T

I had a pontiac that did the same thing... went to numerous shops, diagnostics, pulled out a lot of hair.. a parts counter guy at the GM Dealer gave me an Oxygen Sensor and told me it would fix my problem.....
I put at least 100k on that car after that without any problem at all....
