I have just recently encountered a problem with jerking when I press the accelerator especially when around 50 mph and going up hills. The car runs fine except when any of the two conditions on top are met. I feels like there might be some gas obstruction but I have changed the fuel filter and the problem is still there. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Ma4life: When you replaced your coil pack what did your car do and how did you pin point the problem to the coil pack?Comment

Re: Problems with jerking when accelerating
I just fixed that problem on mine. I went through all the "cheap" things that might fix it....plugs, wires, etc. Turned out to be a clogged catalytic converter.2000 3.8L Firebird, Silver Metallic<br /><br />\"Yes, London.

Re: Problems with jerking when accelerating
Im working on a problem similar to this, and have narrowed it down to coils, injectors or the cat.Originally posted by memphis_raines
how did you find out that your cat was clogged?, mine is kinda rusty and rattles a tiny bit, if your cat is clogged does it give a code?Comment
