I Have a 99 Ford Explorer XLS 4X4 OHV and it does the same thing. I discovered that it is the Idle Air Control Valve(IAC) located under the intake manifold. You can try cleaning it first to see if that solves your problem, if not you can get a new one for about $45 to $50. Removal and installation are very easy once you locate it and identify it. Hope this helps anyone dealing with this annoying problem.
It is important to have a well working car while on the road. The lack of fuel getting to the engine would cause hesitation on acceleration,
sounds like a motor mount is broken or a transmition mount. have those checked.
One of the possible causes of a Pontiac Bonneville to jerk during acceleration is that the car needs a tune up. The engine misfiring can lead it to jerk as you accelerate.
During acceleration? I'm not sure. But when both idling and acceleration the engine's combustion can cause a lot of vibration in the steering wheel if you are in an older vehicle.
water pump or tenchener could also be that your power steering oil is low
Mabey you are low on gas or mabey a ring of som sort for ex: Piston ring
Mine does the same thing.. and im pretty sure that it is the auxiliary fan
you need to change the spark plugs it should stop
It's lean. Could be something plugged in the carb.
The year, make, model and engine info would help but in general it could be a vacuum leak or time for a tune up.
A car accelerating when the driver presses the gas pedal - the force applied by the engine causes acceleration. A ball falling towards the ground due to gravity - the force of gravity causes the ball to accelerate downward. A rocket launching into space - the force created by the rocket engines propels the rocket forward, causing acceleration.
not the perfect air fuel mixture. normal under load and acceleration.
