1999 Ford Escort 75,000 Miles.
When I start my car in the morning it acts like its going to die by jerking, etc. When I put it in gear it also acts like its going to die when I accelerate, and often does die. Will do this in any gear, and when i let off the gas. When my car warms up, it runs fine. Replaced spark plugs, temperature sensor, and O2 sensor. Any suggestions?

I believe there is an idle pickup motor on those that lifts the idle speed as needed ie cold, a/c kickin, etc. What is the rpm when this happens?

It does this around 1000 rpms. It sometimes will idle at below 1000 also.
