Problem with car

Hi im new to the forum. I just recently purchase a fit imported from japan. I just started having problem with the car. This is the problem when in gear& i put my foot down the car starts to jump as if it does not wana go but if i leave it in neutral rev the cat it revs smoothly. I tried searching on here but cant seemto find anything on this.

Any info on this would be great

The emergency brake is down. Forgot to say the car in an auto. If gas is applied gently car is fine but the moment to put your foot down it starts to jump.

The Fit has very light resistance to the gas pedal, and takes a while to get used to, particularly if you're jumping between cars. If you search the forum, I recall a few folks have added a spring to provide more resistance.
