My car is having obvious trouble. It's a problem that doesn't happen all the time but comes and goes. When I am stopped at at a light and I hit the gas to go it will rev up and kind of jerk forward before it starts to go like it should. Once I get into the 15 mph range and above it seems to work just fine. I changed the spark plugs already, that didn't help. I used some transmission fluid treatment and it seemed to help for a while but now the problem is back. I talked to a mechanic and he said i'm in for a tune up. Another mechanic said it could be my vacuum hoses. I don't know what to do, help please.

Hi there,

From what you have described, I would be getting a transmission service and report done first, sounds more like a transmission fault than an engine / tune problem.
