my engine had sat for a while and then i finally got it into a car, it ran fine for maybe 2 weeks, now in 1st and 2nd it jerks really bad unless i let off the throttle, i thought it MAY be from a bad tank of gas becuase it started right after i filled the tank when it was almost empty, i put some gas treatment in it and it still happens, would it be gummed injectors?...it only happens in the lower gears, i'm confused, it ran fine last week, TIA , scott

clean your tb, and check for vacuum leaks
i had mine sitting while my parents went on vacation, and i drove their cars, and it did that

ya, you could say its popcorn type of thing, it jerks when i try to accelerate, kinda like when someone is bad at driving standard and the car jerks, but its not that, i'm going to check my timing and the wires, but i didnt think it would be the wires since they are pretty new aftermarket wires, thanks for the help, scott
