Should put it up on a hoist and check all fuel lines coming out of gas tank going to the carburetor. All it takes is a fine crack to ooze fuel out but not see it run. Check and see if there is moisture any place and take your finger and swipe the moisture and smell it. I have seen a simple thing as the line came loose from the carbs. and needed to be tightened up.

asking the blind why your car jerks,is near
impossible, ask the living, person in your service shop this and win.

Gross engine misfiring , petrol engines.

get a tuneup, spark, filters?
m13 engine needs good spark to burn all fuel.
try at least spark plugs, they do not last life of any engine.

btw,
misfire has over 50 causes
in a shop there are 1 to 10 tests
to discover true cause
they dont guess, they test.
or go broke (after doing a tuneup, gee)

Shifting problems 2002 dodge neon

I would start with checking the fluid level in the transmission.

With the vehicle on a level surface start it and let it run in park. Pull the transmission dipstick wipe it clean, reinsert and pull it out. If the fluid is not in the cross hatch area add 1/2 quart of ATF+4 and recheck the fluid level (it will take a couple of minutes for the fluid to settle out of the dipstick tube). Continue adding 1/2 quart at a time until the level is in the cross hatch area.

With your foot on the brake run the transmission through all the gears. place the transmission in park and recheck the level, adding as necessary.

Then drive it and see what happens.

I have a 2004 Grand prix gt2. Today while i was driving smoke started coming out of the vents. i pulled over and my husband came and drove the car around the block. no more smoke, but now no air is coming...

The first place i would look at is the heater blower motor resistor these are known to over heat the wire connector that plug into them.And if your heater fan is only coming on with 1 speed or none at all then you will need to replace the resistor.Go to www.rockauto.com for the best price on these parts.
