Had a strange thing happen recently.
I'll accelerate and the car will pick up, and then the revs will suddenly shoot higher up (like when putting into a lower gear)

Has happened twice when driving - both time was slight change, but on another occasions I put the pedal to the ground - revs climbed a bit slow and then suddenly shoot up and my car jerked forward although I hadnt changed gear/dropped gear.

My car is a 318tds se

Any advice would be great.

This only happens once the car starts to warm up. The CEL is 1221 for the O2 sensor or a vacuum leak. It has a new O2 sensor now and I found two vac. lines that were bad and I replaced them. They were the ones coming from the valve cover. I also replaced the clip that connects them to the valve cover. I just cleaned out my ICV last night but it didnt look too bad. I need to put it back in today. The idle starts to hunt once it gets warmed up and it will die if it sits at idle too long after its completely warmed up. The DME has gotten wet recently. It got wet last thur. and this started before that if I remember right. Any help would be great. Im thinkin its the MAF at this point, but I can disconnect the MAF sensor and it gets a lot worse.

As I came to the stop sign to enter the main road, I push the brake and the clutch in and the car stalls. But after restarting, driving a few miles, and repeating, its fine. Happened to me this morning too. But after it warms up, it seems to be fine. I took it to the stealership, they ran some checks and said my 02 sensors are fine and no air leaks. I replaced my spark plugs last Fall so I don't think thats the issue. Think its something electrical? Thanks for any ideas!
