Hi there, although my car starts fine, it jerks as if fuel starved. Not continuously but mainly when my revs are low or eg when pulling away .Next service is only due in 4000 km :( Not sure if it could be the sparkplugs? (although I did have the car serviced in Oct 2012 where they replaced the sparkplugs, air and fuel filter) ?

Misfiring are usually spark plug related fault and it could be the spark plugs or coil packs.
