My car is jerking while accelerating and reaching certain RPM

2002 Buick Century Custom, automatic, 200K miles, jerking while accelerating after reaching certain RPM. You can see engine jerking in parking after reaching certain RPM. If you drive it starts around 40mph. It happens less and even goes away after driving about 10 miles or so. Please advice. Thank you in advance.

I would look for a fault in the ignition system such as a cracked spark plug. Might need a scope check to put your finger on the problem

When do I need to have the timing belt checked on my 2002 buick century? the car has 102,000 miles on it.

Your 2002 century doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain. Timing chains don't need to be changed at a certain mileage.

My 2002 Buick Century is jerking when it shifts gears. It is a automatic. Why is it jetking when it shifts?

Jerky shifts with an automatic transmission is normally cause by the valvebody in your transmission sticking. You could try to change the transmission fluid and filter but I seriously doubt this will solve your problem. Please rate my answer.
