Bucking and jerking of the car.
Idle surging of the car.
Hesitation while the car is trying to accelerate
Sudden surge in car's speed while driving on the highway.

I checked the Tps and it is working properly. Any other suggestions as to why I have those symptoms? It feels like the car is working to hard to Accelerate and jerks a little when it shifts gears. Gas mileage is worst then before. Check engine came on before, it was to replace the air pump and air pump valves but it just doesn't the same as before.Any help would be appreciated
