I have a 98 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 Coupe with 140,000
the car starts and runs fine as long as you're accelerating (or so it seems) when you ease up off the pedal to maintain the speed limit lol it starts like jerking unless I accelerate or down shift. But I have to do this constantly and it's any speed does it at 35mph as well as 70mph. ANY IDEAS?

It was the plug wires. But this was after Auto Zone not only sold me the wrong plugs but the wrong gap at that. Only set me back 150.00 for 20.00 plug wires
