Is there a remedy to rough idle and jerky acceleration from a stopped position?

fuel pump and filter

sounds like u cld be dumping fuel! Go to repair shop to get a diagnostic checkup!!! Couldn't hurt!!

I think you have an engine wiring harness issue going on here.

Check the throttle position sensor (TPS) and system vacuum.

Try a few if these ideas...

Priority Action Part Type Cause
1 Inspect Spark Plug Fouled, Damaged, or Broken Spark Plug(s).
2 Inspect Hose (PCV) Clogged or Collapsed PCV Hoses.
3 Inspect Wireset Worn, Damaged or Faulty Spark Plug Wire(s).
4 Inspect Distributor Worn, Damaged or Faulty Distributor.
5 Inspect Catalytic Converter Clogged or Faulty Catalytic Converter.
6 Inspect Fuel Pump Low Fuel Pressure.
7 Inspect TimingSet Slipped TimingChain or Worn TimingGear(s).
8 Inspect Knock Sensor Improperly Connected or Faulty Knock Sensor.
9 Inspect M.A.P. (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor Faulty M.A.P. Sensor.
10 Inspect Throttle Position Sensor Faulty or Incorrectly Connected Throttle Position Sensor.
11 Inspect Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Damaged, Loose, or Faulty Mass Air Flow Sensor or Circuit.
12 Inspect Air Cleaner Temperature Sensor Damaged or Faulty Air Cleaner Tempature Sensor.
13 Inspect Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator Faulty Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator.
14 Inspect Piston Ring Set Worn or Broken Piston Rings.
15 Inspect Timing Specification Incorrect Ignition Timing.
16 Inspect Fuel System Pressure Incorrect Fuel Pressure Being Delivered to Carburetor or Fuel Injection System.
17 Inspect Fuel Filter Clogged or Dirty Fuel Filter.
18 Inspect PCV Valve Plugged or Damaged PCV Valve.
19 Inspect Valve Burned, Worn, or Sticking Exhaust Valves.
20 check idle stop solenoid - if faulty, could cause rough idling
21 inspect distributor cap/rotor - if burnt, could cause loss of acceleration

I am having the same issue on Mitsubishi Galant 02. Clattering on acceleration, herky jerky idle. Pulled a code multiple cylinder misfire. My mechanic's diagnosis is bad valve cover gasket causing oil to seap into the spark plugs and bad timing belt, which I have not replaced at 150k miles. I do however know my fuel injectors do need cleaning, he hasn't ruled that out either. Have you pulled any code on it? I have read on engine knock sensor going out on some of these also. Hope this helps some.

check the fuel pressure on the fuel pump

I Have a 1999 ford f150 4.6 that back fires and is just running really ruff when idling alot of nack fire a sord of like a pulse going on what is my problem?

check for minor vacuum leak and map sensor,pcv,egr valve

carb or Fuel injected try cleaning either one of these bad distributor cap or rotor or distributor good luck
