I have a 2001 Venture. Just recently while driving at around 50mph and up it will start to jerk really hard every couple of seconds and hesite. If I push the acellerator it feels like it isn't getting any fuel. Just hesitates and jerks. If I slow down to below 50mph or so it will be fine. Also it doesn't do this while driving in the city. Only at higher speeds on the freeway.

how many miles on plugs/plug wires? the 80,000. try putting a set of plugs and plug wires on it and i'll bet this clears it up. you got to change them in 20,000 miles anyway .if it is still there it could be fuel pressure as the fuelpumps on these vans ain't to reliable
