Car jerks when accelerating, then stalls when slowing down

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry V6 Automatic. It will turn on fine, run fine, but once you get to the second complete stop after driving down a road, then start to accelerate, the engine will jerk every full second constantly and the RPM needle jumps around. When I slow down it will stall. MAF sensor is clean, Fuel filter is replaced. Any ideas?

SOURCE: My 1990 Camry jerks and sometimes stalls

The 1st thing to do is have a trouble code retrieval test run to see what is making the check engine light come, this is the source of the problem.

SOURCE: my car is jerking while accelerating and reaching certain RPM

I would look for a fault in the ignition system such as a cracked spark plug. Might need a scope check to put your finger on the problem

It sounds like there may be an issue with your ignition system.

Check the ignition wires, distributor cap, spark plugs.

SOURCE: When i accelerate there is hesitation and jerking?

It means there is a problem in the carburetor of your car . But if then so you still have to check the accelerator springs and pedal. For there are worn out or destroyed parts then replace them for good .About the carburetor.Prepare the equipment or tools to be used in servicing the carburetor .So that when carburetor will be repaired or serviced no parts will be damage or lost. Locate the carburetor. Disconnect the fuel lines , the accelerator cable and the magnetic jet from the carburetor.Dis -assemble the carburetor.Clean carburetor with carburetor cleaner.Don't forget to observe safety rules. If there are worn out parts or destroyed parts then replace them .But you the owner don't have time to do the job then go to a car shop mechanic and let them do the job.

Won't accelerate, jerks and loud clanking noise

My new 2007 Camry V6 did the dance you describe at about 2000 miles. It turned out to be a bad transmission, the so-called "snap ring" problem. They replaced the transmission under warrantee. However the new one did the same thing at 1800 miles on that transmission. I sold the car back to Toyota and bought a Hybrid. You need a Toyota dealer to look at it. Good luck!

1992 toyota camry v6 le boggs down on acceleration

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. Your car should normally idle at about 700-750 RPM. You said that yours was at about 1000-1500, that is waaay to high. If you have a leak somewhere in the system the car will draw in extra air and it will want to idle much higher and will also be very erratic and hard to drive.
