I can be drivng along, and my car runs just fine. Then, all of a sudden it sarts missing, spitting and sputtering, and it looses power. It also starts jumping and jerking. I can keep drivng it, and it clears up. It also acts ike I have water in my gas, but I have put some additives in my tank that dries up water. I can't figure out what the problem is. I have checked the O2 sensor, the fuel control sensor, the fuel filter, the transmission filter, plugs, and plug wires. I just can't seem to figure it out. Is there someting that I have missed?

well it def sounds like the fuel injector/ carb....sounds like the engine is not gettin constant supply gas and wants to choke down like a manual when the clutch is out....try fuel injection cleaner bc it could b gunked up in there if not that then it might be the alternator prob not tho..good luck

If the car is fuel injected, check the injectors, or at least dump some injector cleaner in your tank. If its carbureted clean it out with some carb cleaner from walmart. Also check your air filter. if none of that has any effect id check the compression in your cylinders.

Check the EGR Sensor. Sometimes you don't even need to buy a new one...you can take the old one off and clean it (sometimes a piece of carbon gets stuck in there and plugs it up). If that doesn't work, check your coil packs.
