Vehicle does a quick **** when driving - on occassion

I first noticed it when I was driving about 60 MPH and it just jerked like it was going to die or something. Then it continued to run normal. The next day it happened about 6-7 times in a 30 mile stretch of highway. It then happened going through town at about 45 MPH a few days later. I am wondering fuel filter, injectors, transmission? Maybe bad gas?

    I think it was bad gas. I filled up at my regular station and it has not done the jerking since.



    Thanks anyway.

X Trail. Why does it jerk every time I drive over a long distance?

I have noticed my car Jerks when shifting after i come to a stop after driving on a fairly long road at high RPM's... It doesn't do it all the time like I said the only time I have noticed it is while driving for about 10 miles at about 60 mph.

Backfire at 60 to 70 mph

Check for bad fuel, but it sounds like it might be spark plugs or spark plug wires breaking down and cross firing or missing. If it is electrical you should have a rougher idle also.

What when my car gets to the speed between 60 mph to 70 mph the car starts to jruk.

If the car has no Check Engine light, and it operates well at all other speeds, then I have a question to ask.....have you had the vehicle for a while and is this a speed range that you drive at consistently for extended periods of time? I say this because if you drive at consistent speeds for long periods you can actually wear a dead spot in the throttle position sensor (TPS). This will cause a drop-out at the point of the dead spot which feels like a jerking motion.

2003 honda element - it lost power while driving about 60 mph and then turned to come home.. going about 15 mph and lost power and started jerking - it did not die and the electrical was working - battery...

You should start with the basics, are you getting fuel and air to the engine and spark at the plugs? Is the battery being charged? When did you last change the fuel filter? Does the car still start and run?

I think my automatic transmission modulator valve is going out because it jerks and vibrates when i accelerate anything above 50 MPH.

90 % of the time jerking or vibration is usually caused by the engine and not the transmission. The most common cause is cylinder misfiries caused by the ignition system that cause the vehicle to ****, stumble, or shudder which make it appear and feel as though the transmission is the cause. Most transmission problems will cause harsh shifts, slippage, and/or delayed engagement but rarely jerks or vibrations. I'd start by looking at the spark plugs, plug wires, and coil packs to make sure they are all ok first before going any further. The reason most of these problems are more noticable over 50 mph is that the torque converter clutch is engaged at this point and it provides a solid connection between the engine and drivetrain which makes engine misfires more noticable. Good luck, hope this helps a bit!
