My car stalls and when it does run, it jerks. Could this be a spark plug problem? I had a new battery and alternator put in before this happened. A week later this happened, my car shut off while driving, it started right back. The car has had a high idle. I hope to find out the problem.

Hi Ken, it was the spark plugs and the throttle position sensor was replaced. The mechanic also fixed a vacuum leak and now the car is running fine. Thank you Ken!
