1992 Saturn SL1 jerks and jumps when accelerating

When I am giving gas to increase speed my 1992 SL1 automatic will **** and jump like it is running out of fuel. Once I get the speed increased it will settle down. This does not happen all the time.

my car seems to jolt as i am trying to accellerate. i have a 1992 saturn sl2. last month it overheated real bad a couple of times, and two weeks apart had to get the fan belts replaced, and also the 2nd time the tensioner. the car has had a couple of thermostats replaced and also two or three radiators. my neices husband said i need the headgasket replaced, but others told me the car would not be running anymore

I have a 1992 saturn when i try to speed up a little quick it starts jumping and sputering if you give it its time it will go as fast as you want though what could be the problem

Sounds like you might have a bad throttle postion sensor. I would also check to see if the throttle body needs cleaned and the fuel filter.

My 1999 saturn SL1 would not start w/o a jump. Then it began to start rather roughly now when i turn the ignition all i hear is 'electricity'. i have to get a jump to get it going

Sounds like you need to replace the battery. However you may have another issue and that could be your alternator. If the alternator is not recharging your battery while the car is running, then a new battery is going to die as well.

My 1992 Saturn SL1 has a fast idle (1500 rpm) but when I go to take it out of park or put it back into park the idle jumps to about 3000. When driving if you let off the gas it stays at the same tach speed...

2002 Saturn SL1 - won't start, turn over, starts fine with jump

Have the alternator and battery checked. The battery may not be holding a charge. The alternator may not be charging the battery,it should put out between 14 and 15 volts,any less the alternator is bad.

A3 power surges

run the fault codes
could be a transmission actuator problem as it senses vacuum changes when moving the accelerator and tries to change ratios ( 2000 to 2500 rpm indicates a ratio change which is the speed increase momentarily until the Transmission range sensor puts it back in the correct ratio for the road speed
check the wiring to the transmission
it is a sensor problem not a transmission failing
