Default bunny jump

I have a 1995 camaro Z28 LT1 350 6 speed, my question is everytime I drive around town at a low spped my car wants what I call bunny jump with me. Can anyone tell me why it does this and how to fix it? It gets very annoying.

The forum has been acting weird with double posts recently

That said, is the SES light on? Any other odd behavior? We need some more info here before we can be of much help...

kind of sounds like you are in like 2nd or 3rd gear going prob 5-10mph, or like craby said in too high of gear, i know my 78 4spd does it when im in 2nd gear practically idleing

No, Im not running at a to high a gear for speed. It didnt start until I had headers and Nos installed on it. It is getting worse, cant hardly drive thru town. My SES light comes on every once awhile but then it goes off.

check all the fuses in the power box under the hood. particularly the engine sensor fuse.
