Why would a 1975 Chevy 350 idle fine for a few minutes but when taken driving runs fine when accelerating but sounds like it is trying to die when the at low RPM's?

Sounds like you have a fuel related problem. Most likely too high of a mixture of gas compared to air. When you are accelerating the extra gas is needed to speed up but when you slow down to lower rpm`s the extra is choking out the carb. Check your tailpipe and see if there is a strong smell of gas and if it is sooty. If it is too rich your mixture will need to be set on your carb.

1994 ford escort chugs and bucks when accelerating the other day I was driving home and all the sudden the car started chugging and bucking trying to die. will idle but chugs when accelerating?
Check the vaccume return hose that goes over the block on top. Mine was dried out and I was losing pressure at the connection. That was causing mine to do chug.

Why would a transmission clunk when it down shifts almost into 1st gear and you accelerate again automatic transmission its like your catching it before the car down shifts 2006 Chrysler Sebring?
That may be exactly what is happening. You may be accelerating at the moment it is trying to complete the downshift and you catch it between gears.That may be exactly what is happening. You may be accelerating at the moment it is trying to complete the downshift and you catch it between gears.
What does 'sounds like your trying to make a dig at me' mean?
If someone says, "sounds like you're trying to make a dig at me", it means that they think the other person is trying to make fun of them. When one digs on another, it means they are trying to annoy or pester the other person.

What caused your car to cut off while driving only to give off a ticking noise when trying to restart?
If the car is ticking but not turning over when trying to start, it sounds as if it's an electrical issue. The ticking sound is probably the starter solenoid. It sounds like there's not enough current to engage the starter. (They require quite a bit of juice.) I'd suggest checking the battery, alternator, and battery cables.
