    spark plugs? ignition coil, fuel blockage change your fuel filter.
    oh yeah rev limiter is set at about 5500rpm. reach that under acceleration and she'll really miss.

    Could be coil causing dramas man
    Vacuum leaks in intake piping and all vac lines.
    what about the intank inertia pump. i know the hose gets brittle and causes leaks and have a look at the filter on this pump as well

    Thank you to all who helped with my problem. The coil was the problem but only when under load we tested this by putting the car on a hoist and running her to 40kph while off the ground and with no load she was fine. Put her on the street and the surging was there. Thanks again brother inlaw and me very happy.!!!!
