Small update to this:
I found a tear in the intake hose after the MAP sensor but before intake manifold. Replacing this piece seems to have taken care of jerky acceleration.
Now that the initial problem has been resolved I have noticed another: vibrations while accelerating between 45-55 mph or maintaining speed at 55 mph. As soon as I take my foot off the gas during that speed range or maintain speed higher than 55 mph, the vibration goes away. I am not really sure where to start with this one. The CV boots are not torn (but the drivers side axle was replaced recently), I cannot find any other vacuum leaks. Could this be a symptom of the the passenger side axle failing?
Its worth mentioning the CEL has never come on in this vehicle. So correct me if I am wrong, but scanning for codes would yield zero results, correct?
Thanks again for any help.
