I just had the spark plugs changed and now the car isn't accelerating very well at all. It wont go into gear while accelerating, and jerks into gear when i let off the gas. No problems with transmission or acceleration before the spark plug change. Any ideas?
Try checking fireing order of spark plugs sounds like some wires may be on the wrong plugs if this was helpful please give me a good review
SOURCE: car has poor accelaration, like asking for more gas.
dificult to tell as so many variables ,take car to a dealer to put on computer,it might need resetting
SOURCE: jerking when you try to accelerate quickly
When you accelerate, it open more throttle valve and at the same time more fuel is supposed to spray in to meet the demand, but it didn't that why the engine is hesitate. The problem is that you don't have a correct air: gas ratio of 14.6 :1 Need to check 1- Fuel pomp rate of delivery to determine pump is weak for a change. 2- Fuel accumulator ( regulator) if it still maintains correct pressure for Fuel distributor 3- After the#1 2nd #2 fixed and the problem is still existed, then your Fuel distributor need to be taken care of.

try changing your fuel filter. It may be a throttle position sensor, but if it was an electrical problem, your "check engine" light would be on and a mechanic would have to put the computer on it to test.
I would suggest changing your fuel filter.

It sounds like the fuel is not being delivered sufficently to the engine. Try looking here. Perhaps a fuel injecter cleaner (you can pour Seafoam into the gas tank and it is a great fuel injecter cleaner and fuel stabilizer). What did your plugs look like when you replaced them? This can tell you a lot about the combustion chamber. A Haynes manual will be invaluable to you.
