Sorry previous explanation didn't show up. When I accelerate to get on highway, my RPMS go up to 5 but the car looses power and doesn't accelerate but seems to stall then catches and goes. Very scary!

Code was P0008. I was informed that it was probably a stretched timing belt.

Check engine light came on again so off to a GMC dealership I go and hope it is covered under warranty.
