Car jerks when you hit the gas - 2004 Nissan Sentra

believe it or not it is the norm and is more annoying in the 4 cyl --havent had it stall thought their a slush trans personally hate them also will act like slipping when trying to pass excessive revving the 6cyl happens less and the higher revving usually doesnt happen but in traffic may get the jerking also but GM constant states normal

Could be the fuel filter. Watch the speed it happens. IE.. Ok at 50 MPH, hit 60 MPH it starts jerking. Clogged filers will give the pressure need, just not the volume of fuel need at higher speeds.

I am new at this but it sounds as if the fuel filter or pressure is off, but it also could be the catalytic converter in the exhaust

My 2012 gmc terrain has done this twice. Remote started to cool, got in car turned and turned key, out foot in bread to put from park to drive and it jerked forward and killed when I hit the gas. Moved about 2 inches. Then the next day (yesterday) I got in turned key and put foot on break to put from park to drive and put foot on has petal slowly and it jerked. Let off the gas and hit the gas again and it was fine. We are about to leave for a 5 hour trip. Is it safe? What's wrong? Will I get a check engine light? Worst case what happens? Thanks

try putting some fuel injector cleaner in the gas

Sounds like a bad fuel pump or fuel regulator also cold be spark plugs if occursthe worst when it cold

Have your modulator valve checked, or there could be a vacuum leak somewhere.

A gas leak would be the cause. There has to be a sufficient amount of fuel pressure otherwise pressure regulator and compute don't read correct.

These is because of the improper combustion, so you better check the air filter and the exhaust along with that you replace all the spark plugs

Possible dirty fuel filter. I'd start there first, as it's the cheapest route, and quite possibly replacing the filter will solve your problem.
