My 2002 ford taurus sometimes "jerks" when I'm speeding up at around 35mph and 65mph not all the time but quite a bit whats wrong with it?

Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, bogging, misfiring etc. Could be caused by one of the following below:

We start here-inspect and test all the items below and comeback with the results.

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it.
