If you have a check engine light on, pull the code. Jerking while stopped is often a sign of needing a tune up, but it can be other things too. If it's been a while since last tune up, change plugs and wires.

Inspect and replace plugs and wires as necessary. Check for vacume hose leaks as well You can also run some injector cleaner through and be sure you are using the proper octane gasoline.

SOURCE: 2000 Alero idles low and dies when stopped.

How does it idle when you first start or idle when hot.
On the top of the air intake tube there is a small screw which should when screwed in speed up the idle and if it dosent work or it idles fine when cold or warm at idle then its your GEARs are binding up and there's not to much you can do about that ........sorry

SOURCE: 1988 safari 4.3 gmc. motor runs well in idle. on

If it Idles well in park and neutral but shutters when you put it into gear then I would say the trans. torque converter is staying locked.You may want to try and flush the trans,replace filter and fluid.

Not getting fire over the #1 spark plug coil. What needs to be changed/what is the cause of the problem? The engine stopped running while in motion. Battery light came on first then all the other warning...

  1. Check fuel level in fuel tank, add fuel if empty.
  2. Check battery condition and state of charge. If voltage and load test below specification, charge or replace battery.
  3. Check battery terminal and cable condition and tightness. Clean terminals and replace damaged, worn or corroded cables.
  4. Check fuel delivery system. If fuel is not reaching the fuel injectors, check for a loose electrical connector or defective fuse, relay or fuel pump and replace as necessary.
  5. Engine may have excessive wear or mechanical damage such as low cylinder cranking pressure, a broken camshaft drive system, insufficient valve clearance or bent valves.
  6. Check for fuel contamination such as water in the fuel. During winter months, the water may freeze and cause a fuel restriction. Adding a fuel additive may help, however the fuel system may require draining and purging with fresh fuel.
  7. Check for ignition system failure. Check for loose or shorted wires or damaged ignition system components. Check the spark plugs for excessive wear or incorrect electrode gap. If the problem is worse in wet weather, check for shorts between the spark plugs and the ignition coils.
  8. Check the engine management system for a failed sensor or control module.

Car shakes and jerks on idling or during traffic light stops

Sounds like a miss.

Check that each spark plug is getting spark.

If not, possible tune up problem.

Check each fuel injector for clicking sound with a stethoscope, as well.

If a fuel injector is not firing or functioning, then it can cause a similar symptom.

Good luck on this repair.
