like i said im new to the car its my first SVX i know somethings abt it im just concerned and seeing what it could be
also i noticed a dip stick with the initials DIFF i know that has to do with the differential bc of the AWD but could that be the cause of my problem??? what is that mainly for??????
thanks in advanced

Sounds like a Throttle Position Sensor to me (TPS to many here). Mine exhibited similar symptoms when I purchased it, and I'd suspected the transmission. I checked the TPS using the How-To written up here, and it had a dead spot right around 1/3 throttle (right where it cruises most of the time). If you check the voltage or resistance through the sensor at idle, and it seems ok, you might still have a problem part way through the sweep of the sensor. Do the full test and rule that out before spending money on trans work. It might save you a bunch.
Welcome to the forum.
