2001 Taurus 65K. When driving at constant speed, car jerks as though it is missing-on and off sort of feel. Both at low speeds and freeway. No engine lights etc. Recent complete tuneup, filters changed, fuel injector service, crank sensor replaced (intermittent problem finally failed to set a code) MAP sensor cleaned.

must use die electric grease on plug wires! no grease and car will do the jerk, do to arcing. put grease inside wire boots anytime wire is removed from spark plug. maybe this wasn't done/correctly at time of tune up.
