Can I please get some expert advice please
I have a grad prix gt 2000 3.8 L ,for the past month going on a freeway ramp or even on a straightway when the car reaches around 2000 rpm the tac starts going crazy and the car starts to jerk...if I press the gas then the problem goes away.I have changed spark plugs and wires,fuel filter,there are no codes at all an also noticed for the past two days that the fuel gage does not give me the correct reading it goes up and down, not stable at all.
please assist me in trouble shooting this problem
Thanks

How many miles on your GP? Is it stock or modded? Do you have a CAI or K&N air filter installed ?
