Car is jerking

Drove to school this morning and everything ran fine. Came home, washed and waxes it, went out for a drive and when I moderatley step on the gas the car starts jerking like crazy. It's an auto, but it is shake like someone learning to drive stick. Idle is fine. This is my only guess, I put the mid pipe back in the intake to hook the nitrous back up and I think it's the hoses. The larger hose that connects to the rear has a crack in it, and it was bent kind of funny to re-attach it, which blocked off the flow. That hose came off once before when I was driving and the car stalled out, which is why I think this is the problem. Any one else have an ideas? If it's not that, then maybe its a tranny problem but I doubt it, it will go into all 4 gears, but you have to drive slow, any time you get on it the car starts doing the jerking.

No it doesnt smell like gas. The fuel pressure hasnt changed from normal, and I havent ran it with nitrous since last summer, so that didnt mess up something just now. I'll get new hoses tomorrow and see how that does. If it's not better, then I'll do a mini tune up: fuel filter, plugs, PCV, clean the TB.
It's just odd how after a couple hours of sitting it started to run funny.

well the problem was none of what I expected. One of the wires connecting to the MAFS was cut at the harness. Patched it up, now the car runs again
