So does it feel like the transmission is slipping?Or the engine is cutting out?If the engine is cutting out i would check the spark plug wires first also the spark plugs.Make sure there isnt platnuim plugs in the engine.They carbon foul in those engines you want stock copper plugs i recomend the ngks like it came with.Also any codes in the computer?Have you checked for codes?Also is the jerking worse with the a/c on if the a/c works?
