Well last night i was parked for a few minutes and when i started accelerating the car started jerking almost as if it wanted to cut off. It does it only the first couple seconds of accelerating but no more after or while driving. It doesnt do it every time i accelerate, it did it last night, i drove it this morning and it didnt do it, i drove it just a little while ago and it did it again. All my fluid levels are normal, the car starts up right away no problem and it idles normal. any suggestions on what this could be or a solution.

you might want to edit the subject! (maybe it's just me)

You may have some bad fuel (water) or dirty injectors (??)

And you may have a dirty mind, which I share. I sometimes feel like that when I'm accelerating the G.....

Welcome to NICO!

Anything done to the car recently?

You could re-learn the TPS and reset the ECU. Check out the G-FAQ (link in my sig) for the procedures.

Welcome to NICO

Interesting title :chuckle: but how often do you change your air filter and did you inspect it?

:rotfl not just you!!

Need to know what year, how many miles, what brand gas do you use??
(I do not use mom & pop's gas stations)
(Also, better to use a station that has high volume)
(Also, never gas up when they are filling the tanks)

Would start by filling up with a big brand gas and putting some injector cleaner in (Lucas).
Next, think about a new fuel filter.

Just run seafoam through the gas tank. Add that in before you fill up.

It sounds like you got some bad gas.

People swear by Lucas products. I have never used them, and only seen them mostly used on diesels.

Seafoam is a great product for our Nissan engines.
