If its not throwing a check engine or service engine soon light. then theres a chance it could be a fault with your torque converter/transmission. my wife drives a 02 escape and im of the opinion its a pile of **** and im going to trade it in ASAP.

2008 Nissan Champ 1400 is jerking and cuts off when I accelerate to 50 kph. After it cut off it take time to start again.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Nissan.

There is some ideas in the link, but you need to find someone in South Africa that has a scan tool computer. Dirty injector from bad fuel is the most likely. Check the spark plugs as well.

Im driving an opel astra j essentia 1.6 2011 model,recently it started jerking or cutting petrol supply, i bought a new petrol pump the problem still persists please assist.

Jerking or cutting fuel supply? How did you determine that? This is most likely a sensor in the engine. Could be a fuel pump relay but it most likely is a crank shaft sensor.

I have a Touareg TDi and it lacks power and is smoking.In addition while driving,it jerks and everytime it jerks the Rev Counter drops and rises again. After sometime it will completely cut out and not...

Do a compression check. It sounds like the valve timing. If the engine has had recent maintenance like tune ups, oil changes etc. the symptoms you describe indicate serious problems.

I have a toyota camry and my car jerks and when i turn the ac on it cuts off should i get new spark plugs and wires

The jerking can be caused by the A/C compressor cutting in & out causing a extra drag on the engine.This is usually caused by low freon presure.
