Whenenver I come to a stop; this car jerks or acts like it wants to cut off. Do I need a fuel injection cleaner.

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

No, the check engine light has not come on; and no I have not had it checked for vaccum leaks.

I'm not saying fuel injector cleaner wouldn't help, but it sounds more like a vacuum leak to me. That is where I would start looking. It doesn't sound sensor related since the check engine light hasn't come on.

Let me know what you find.
