Slight Surge

Hey all, I have a 98SE AT 4x4.

When I'm driving a bit hard, meaning that when climbing a slight hill not too fast (2nd) or when I'm on 2nd gear and the rpm starts to go higher (right to where it would shift to 3 if I was on D), I can feel a slight surge. I don't know how to explain it, it's like I can feel a slight variation in power...

 

Truck has 135K, New Sparks. Dealer said it was a dirty airflow, so they cleaned it with a spray can... Still same problem.

Thought I'd post here before taking it back.

 

PS: I remember I put in half a bottle of Redex Injector Cleaner shortly before that started to happen. Don't know if it is the culprit cos the truck drives normaly when I step on the gas fast...

 

Thanks all.

Thanks for the replies guys.

The CEL light on the dash is off (thankGod)

And when you drive the truck normally you barely notice this, if at all.

It seems better now, so my guess is that it might be the injector cleaner has dislodged some gunk are something. Will keep monitoring after my next refill.

What do you think?

Gonna try your suggestions though.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I cannot find an Lucas neither :(

The good thing is that I went to the dealership and they ran a scan on my Pathy: No error codes whatsoever!!

Will keep you posted.
