I am having i20 Magna, due to initial pickup problem means I am losing accelerator connection for few distance later it is getting settling (may be up to the engine heating condition). It is getting jerk while running up to 3 - 4 kms,

Recently complete service has been done, changed the parts by the authorized service center Hyundai, including the ECM, but problem is getting repeated.

I personally feel some sensor problem, please suggest.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Anytime there is power loss and poor running conditions, I suspect a partially plugged catalytic converter. Has anything other than the prior work been checked? Also, has the computer been scanned to identify diagnostic trouble codes?

Take a look through these links and see if the symptoms mirror what you are experiencing.

Here is a test:

Let me know.
