Been doing this for about a year now getting worse. Took to mechanic no code showed up. He charged A/C thinking when the A/C kicks on and off it pulls from the small engine causing the jerking. Seemed to work okay for three -four days now back to doing the same.

Hi,

Are you only feeling this when the A/C compressor engages and disengages? If it does it with the A/C off as well, has anyone checked fuel pressure to see if there is an issue or for an engine vacuum leak?

Here are a couple of links showing how it is done:

Also, has the vehicle been tuned up (new plugs) or anything electrical been checked?

Let me know.

Joe
