Your Question

I HAVE AN DODGE, INTREPID AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WILL TAKE OFF BUT THEN THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL THEN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT WILL JUMP AND THEN TAKE OFF. IT DOES THAT EVERY TIME. WHY?

The transmission could be slipping or a hesistation/surging problem due to the following:

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it
