ok, my car somtimes has trouble starting. STOCK everything. The engine cranks fine.. just replaced the starter, new sparkplugs, new airfilter. Also when driving at a smooth speed it will jerk and act likes the cluth is splipping, but I don't think its the clutch, I can hammer on it pretty good without it slipping. what should I start replacing??

Sound fuel related like your fuel pump is going south. Buy a fuel gauge and see what it reads.

Or maybe the fuel filter? I like to change the easier stuff first worth a shot if anybody else thinks that might be a problem

yep I agree with wytstang and MysteryMachine, sounds to me like a fuel pump or filter, I would try the filter first, cheap and not to hard to do

Is the CEL coming on? If yes, pull the codes. After I cleaned my MAF the car would jerk around 1700-2200rpm. Turned out that I broke the MAF wire. A new MAF fixed her right up. Just something else to do in addition to checking the fuel pressure.

Ditto. Plus if it is the fuel pump you will need to or at least want to change the filter to. Peace
