It seems that the engine speed wants to Jump up and then returns again and repeats this pattern between the speeds of about 15 MPH and 45 MPH.

The surging, revving and lurching forward of the 2002 cavalier was treacherous. I did not even need to use the gas pedal at times. The problem ended up being caused by a bad air conditioner condenser-- twice! Yes, not once but twice. The second time the car was out of warranty, of course. GMAC really needs to work of their quality.. I will not buy another GM. The in-dash computer also went bad within a month of purchasing this car new. The struts went bad and the "Mr. Goodwrench"s could not find any of these problems for months on end. Plus, the fan dial died twice also. Honda looks better all the time.
