I took my car into central florida lincoln today and we'll see if they can help me out...... I did run into a problem already, though its a small one, they told me that they would have a loaner for me and they did but its from enterprise but here in florida you have to be 21 and im 20 until feb... so yeah needless to say i had to call my father and wait 2 hours for him to come get the rental and me drive the mini van (company owned ) to meet my mom and get her corvette (i hate drving this thing) its a pain in the ass to get in and out of and I dont like the way it drives ( nothing like the LS) the only thing its fast and the target top roof........ i forget to talk to the dealership about this anyone got info (i know its a rare thing but ) when i get on the car about 65 or 70 the RPM's are about 5000 it will drop down to 4800 then jump back up even with my foot still floored(getting on the on ramp to i-4 and stuff like that) is this the famous coil packs(should i take it back to the dealership?????
thanks again
Dustin

If it is the coils, you should get a 2k estimate to repair them. The CFLM repair shop likes to replace every coil, the spark plugs, and the gasket.
I had to get mine done there and it sucks that you have to rent a loaner car. A woman I work with takes her car to Tropical Ford and if you spend more than $300 on repairs they give the loaner until your car is fixed - no charge.

CFLM will also give you a 12 month warranty on the service.

i thought it was my tranny, but it was coils. so if it feels bumpy or jerky, i think it may be coils

That is a classic symptom of a leaky booster.
