Lately, when I'm at a complete stop, like at a stop light, my car jerks and sputters. It doesn't happen all the time but it seems to happen more often as time goes by. Any ideas?

Also, as I accelerate from a complete stop, the car doesn't respond and then RPMs drop down to like 100rpm. It almost feels as if the car is going to shut off. My natural reaction is to floor the gas pedal and then it jerks right back up. I'm paranoid that my car is going to die one of these days in the middle of the road. I've been driving on the far right lane just in case lol..help!

 

U got classic symptoms man. Any codes?

Clean TB and MAF. Check MAF harness by wigglying the wires and harness while the car is on. Check IACV, it may need cleaning.

Have u changed plugs? Might need to do that too. CHeck ignition coils for wear or damage. Check harnesses. Throw some chevron techron in the tank.

Check camshaft position sensor.

All this should fix you problem if not, report back.

 

yep usually symtoms clean TB and MAF and your good

Clean ur speed sensors or replace
