help! my car jerks
when the car is idle, it does not idle smooth, it will be super smooth then a sputter/ the rpm goes down a bit and back up to normal.....smooth for a bit then again. it won't cut off but it's just annoying. is it water in the gas? or is it my fuel injectors?
thanks

You have a 99. How're your coil packs?

could be loose fuel lines(the hose clamps have came loose or you may have a cracked fuel line).... just a idea that plagued me for a while till i finally replaced the lines and clamps....
