Hi, I really hope you can help! The first time this happened was a few weeks ago, after I got an oil change from Walmart. My car will be going just fine, then it will start to kinda jerk back and forth, I can hit the gas, it revs, but slows and will not go any farther. I pull over to the side of the road, turn the car off, then on, and its fine for a while. Sometimes it will start to do it, then will "push" through it and be fine. I have had to pull over and restart twice in the last 2 weeks, but I can tell it's not running right. Please let me know if you need any more information, I am not good with car issues :) Ive read a lot of your posts on here and nothing seems to be exactly what is happening to me. Please help!

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Also, did it happen right after the oil change? Have you checked to see if they bumped any vacuum hoses?
