    The wifes car is experiencing a kind of hesitancy when it accelerates in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. If feels as if there's momentarily no power, slight jerking. Any ideas before visit to mechanic? Thanks.

    What make of car is it?
    Could be the ignition coils - easy and cheap fix
    Or:
    slipping clutch - expensive fix

    Maf sensor or lazy lambda sensor possibly.
