When I am going 50-60 mph and start to add a LITTLE (up to 200rpm) gas, not going into OD, my truck startes to jerk. It feels like it is stalling or sputtering. It only happens at this time.
I have recently replaced the plugs and wires and keep up the fluid maintenance. I cant really tell if it is engine or the drive train. I never noticed it until after the plugs were changed.
I have checked to see if the plug wires were loose and had the fluid in the transmission checked. All looks good.

Check your oxygen sensors. If one or more is bad this could be causing the problem.

Hi Alicia, we never got a final reply for that post. It is from 2008. Let me know the year, make, and model of the vehicle and the engine size. Also, let me know what is happening and I'll do my best to help.

Take care,

Joe
