My max getting old??

I've been having starting problem and finally my starter died about a month ago. And I replaced starter and now Im still having problem. I have changed the header gasket(i think that's what it's called..) cause We thought oil was leaking which it did and while we were at it we replaced spark plugs and cleaned throttle body(basic one). And Im still having problem with it and starting last night car was jerking when I was driving it. What do you think is wrong with it this time? Im lost. PLEASE HELP ME OUT~!~!~!

thanks,
Tae

Check the signals from both Crank sensors (POS & REF) and the signal from the Cam Position sensor. As they get old, fine metalic dust collects on the magnetic pickup which distorts the signal slightly. This causes hard starts and sometimes a rough running engine. Sometimes it does not throw a CEL code.
