After starting the vehicle and proceeding to drive away, it almost immediately starts to jerk and buck for several seconds and then smooths out and everything is fine. You can make many start and stops after the initial start and everything goes smoothly. It won't do it again till the car is shut off, even for a short period of time. When the engine is restarted, and you are driving away it will repeat the jerking/buck thing again for several seconds.
