sorry joey_18 for hijacking lol, but my spark and fuel are fine, the fuel pressure is fine and the coils are the right resistance and ive repalced leads and plugs just incase, i went out and bought a compression tester and they are all around 1000 - 1100kpa,

ive also replaced my TPS and IACv also got CAI and k&n hi flow filter installed

not 100% sure my injectors are fine though, so i mite repalce them if no one else can suggest any thing,

Is the transmission oil nice and bright red and doesn't smell burnt? If it needs changing it could be that the solenoids which make the cluches grab are a bit sticky or the trans filter may be partially blocked. You can do it your self for $30 gasket and filter and $25 for oil.

VS Acclaim
Filter?

I had the same problem with my VS Acclaim, it was shuddering under load and it turned out to be a bodgy fuel filter. For a cheap guess I'd say change your fuel filter before having a more expensive look at things.
