I have a 2000 F150 that had a similar problem. When I first got my truck, (I got it for $2.5k under BB value because of what was wrong with it, but I knew what was causing it, so I wasn't worried) it would jerk (sputter) when being accelerated. It did it mostly at the lower RPMS, but it did it any time I put the hammer down. I replaced the COP (coil on plug) on the cylinder at the rear-passenger side of the motor, and that fixed it. The COP's on that cylinder are very bad about getting water in them because of the way the body of the trucks are designed, it's a very common problem. Anyway, if I were you, I would take it to a garage I TRUSTED and have them hook the truck up to a diagnostic computer, and then take a ride with it still hooked up, and see exactly what code (if any) the computer in the truck is sending out. If you don't want to go that route, and are mechanically inclined, you could pull the plugs and either replace them if it's been awhile (or if it hasn't, pull them anyway to check the plugs for gap, looks, and smell) to make sure the one's that are in there are working like they are supposed to, and that they aren't trying to burn oil, water, or getting an abundance of fuel. Hope I helped, good luck!

Most likely it is a clogged injector, or clogged fuel filter. But you're definition of jerking could be different than mine.
