Car skips or jumps when i press gas

Just started yesterday - when I press the gas, feels like the car skips or jumps. I had to drive very slowly to get back home. I am afraid to drive it now. What can possibly be wrong? I filled up with gas night before and it ran all right for about 50 miles before it started acting up. Could it be the gasoline? I don't want to ruin my engine by driving it. Thanks.

My 2011 Honda Pilot engine skips when I slowly accelerate the gas. If I push on the gas quickly it doesn't skip. Any ideas?

Can't guess

You have to follow a diagnostic procedure
that works for whoever checks it out

You need a repair shop to road test it & you drive
with a mechanic and explain things, then they drive it,
and go back to the shop & they start some type of testing
they think is needed

No one can guess from the internet without the car

I would be checking for codes the first day it did that & then not drive it until I had code results

If you got a flashing Mil lamp on the dash or any check light,
you should have gotten to a shop right away

C220 excessive revving at start up and neutral?

Certainly check for a sticking throttle and idle air valve if fitted.

If nothing is found it could need the engine management defaults restoring. Sometimes disconnecting the battery for a few hours or overnight will reset things and sometimes diagnostic equipment with the right software is needed.

Kia sedona 2005 when driving feels like transmission is skipping, hesitating. What is doing on? Just had new transmission put in 7 months ago.

When does it skip and hesitate? While your driving or taking off or turning a corner?

It sounds like an automatic.

Jumping and skipping, feels like the car might just die

That is an EGR code, replace the EGR valve and it should run fine again.
