    Is your transmission automatic? This sounds like a problem with the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

I had a similar prob on a clio, fault was traced to water ingress in plug on speedo drive in gearbox (water came from drain tube under scuttle panel) dried it out, waterproofed it with wd40 and packed with grease, then cleaned out and re-rooted drain tube. problem solved!

Kia sedona tugs/surges when driving, like im in wrong gear

The first step is to have the computer scanned for any stored codes, there are many auto part stores like auto zone that will scan and give you a print out of the codes, these codes can help a lot,

This problem could be fuel or spark, you did not list the year,make model or engine size so i am guessing here on the type of ignition system you have, there could be a bad coil pack that misses under a load, have the codes read and let me know the out come. good day

2005 Neon Stalling and Jerking when driving

I don't think you really would expect someone to guess at all
those symptoms, over the internet

I will say you provided lots of things to think about

Most poeple don't even provide the make of car

Only a possible,so don't throw parts at it
Have it properly diagnosed by a repair shop

The bucking (bunny hop) could be a bad EGR Valve,
along with other issues,such as cylinder misfires as well

The gurgle is not something your hear about,so hopefully
your not low on or loosing coolant,check that & check for leaks
& make sure the heater works okey & it doesn't overheat

If it runs that bad, you should have a check engine light and some codes set. Have you tried having anyone read the computer error codes?

1989 Acura Integra that hesitates after driving.

Sounds a lot like your spark plaugs / leads are havign some trouble conducting.

Spark plugs and leads sound be changed every 12500 miles (spark) / 40000 miles (leads).

If they are nearing the end of their life you will get this hesitation.

Also a good thing to check is your distributor cap. I had a similar issue with my integra where it would bunny hop unless i absolutely planted my foot down.

I pulled off the distributor cap and cleaned the pins on the inside of the cap (flat head screw driver and scrapped away all of the built up carbon) Once i had done that (and replaced my leads and plugs the car went back to smooth riding all of the time.
