When driving down the road everything is okay. But, when you give it some gas it jerks a liitle bit like it not getting gas and then it will recover and be okay. Check engine like will go off and on and then stay off.
Could this be the computer control module?

If you think it's a fuel related problem, have you ever changed the fuel filter? I'd start with that. If that does'nt work try some gas treatment or fuel injector cleaner thru the gas tank. If that doesn't work check your ignition components: distributor cap & rotor/ignition coils, spark plugs & plug wires, and check your sensors: coolant temp, throttle position, and crank/camshaft sensors, don't forget to check your air fliter too. You might want to take the vehicle to Autozone and have them check for stored codes for free with their scanner.
