I take 3 steps foward and this dang car takes 2 back

LIke i said, i did some somewhat major work to the max last night, I changed the drive belts, Fuel Filter and Oil Pressure switch. ALL OEM LIberty Nissan in Libertyville. Everything went fine last night, no major problems but this afternoon on my way home from work, i decided to switch lanes from a dead stop, turn the wheel, and somewhat gun it ( i accelerate hard) and all of a sudden the damn car starts to chug, its the best way i can describe the feeling/noise/reaction. Chugging. So i do a u turn to go back to work so i can look at it immediatley, but on the way back NO PROBLEMS, maybe air pockets in fuel system. Drive home and at Barrington and Golf, i accelerate to pass someone and again it chugs, doesnt shift well,. GOD DAMNIT!!!! I get home safely and i put in in park and decided to rev it, same thing it begins bouncing off revs, 2K then 2.5K then goes fine to 3K then chugs down to 2K.
Has anybody experienced this kind of problem,? Belts too tight?
HOw tight do u have to tighten down the oil pressure switch?

if it ends up being a big *** problem, FuKC it i'll trade it in for a new car i'm tired of puttin SOOO much money and time into it and gettin crap out of it.


OH AND NO CEL on at all the whole way home

For those who have replaced their fuel filters, i basically put in the new one like the old one went out, flat part on top round part on the bottom.

If it is your maf it would put a CEL on, Check the minor parts first. Like air filter, fuel filter, chug fuel injector cleaner down. Simple things first and then start worring.

Alright, this morning car starts up fine and revs fine. I drive 75 on 53N and no problem, get to work no problem. Then get off work get off teh parking lot and BAMMMMMMMM starts to chug/hesistate. i pull back in work quickly and have another tech look at ti and says that maybE MAYBE the fuel pump is taking a dump cuz of the "clogged fuel filter" being for 95K miles.

Anybody kinda got any info or input on the fuel pump taking a crap?
