Ok so this has been going on and off for a week now and I have yet to figure out the issue. It is random too.. It happened last friday going down the highway where the Tach jumps all over like crazy and pops off 6k. Now here's the funny part my engine is bogging down during this and wanting to stall. Now with that being said I think its the transmission trying to figure out which gear it wants and I know its on its way out (second slips) but its not on acceleration just usual cruising. Some days its fine no issues. Today around 3500 to 4200 it does the same thing sputtering and now backfiring. During that the tach jumps all over from 0-7000. I just did the intake gaskets all the way to the heads so I know there isn't a vacuum leak well I hope there isn't. I'm still losing coolant and now oil is on the tranny. I shift this tranny manually because the overdrive slips up hills and I get tired of the surging.. No codes are thrown so I cannot pin point what the issue is. If this car gives me anymore problems I'm getting close to junking it.... Payed $4,500 for it and invested $2,000 to keep it running so I can get from point A to B. Now I barely feel safe to go 10 miles in it without worrying of it dying on the side of the road...
