Is the Malfunction Indicator Light showing?
I am guessing you have a misfiring symptom.

Your symptom description does not provide us with much to go on. Can you provide more details since there are no trouble code indication.

If it is the transmission, it seems to be slipping partially and I would suggest getting a transmission specialist to have a look at it.
