Car jerks bad while taking off; worst in 1st and 2nd gear.the more gas you give it the worse jerks. idles fine. changed fuel filter but no different. 2000 tiburon 4 cylinder
I have a 2004 pt cruiser and i put gas in it about 5 months it had trash in it and jerrked, i put gas treament init ran better. i changed where i get gas at well 5 monhs down the road it started jerrking again and gas trament help a little but the jerrking comes and goes like one day the car will runand the next it acts up...
Get a scan tool to retrieve the dtc (diagnostic trouble code).
you will get a misfire code.
p0301 for cyl 1
p0302 for cyl 2 and so on.
i can't recall if that engine has plug wires or coil on plug but if its coil on plug replace the coil corresponding to the cylinder misfire

yes, check engine is on. i just sprayed the coils with ign. spray and it works alot better but still jerks when i give it more gas.
THATS PROBABLY A IGNITION COIL. THEY ONLY ACT UP UNDER LOAD (E.G WHEN YOU ACCELERATE). IS YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON?
