2003 Saturn Vue 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Well my Vue has been working great so far for the 2 years ive had it.

I recently changed the spark plugs, and it didn't do nothing to fix the problem

Well what the problem is, The car runs perfect. But once on the accelerator/gas sometimes it doesn't move or nothing, it doesn't stall it stays running but under 500RPM's I have to jump on the gas 2 or 3 times to get it moving it jerks to a start and goes. The car runs while driving no problem its just taking off

Brought to to get a scan and came back fine.
And I put some fuel injector cleaner in the gas

Its dangerous and I don't know what to do. Help

The mechanic said there was none. It doesn't feel like the transmission. I talked to someone and they said that it sounds like the fuel pump cause there is no fuel pressure sensor, and the computer can't read it or know what the pressure is.?

That is true there isn't a fuel pressure sensor. If you rented a fuel pressure gauge then you could see if fuel pressure was the case.I would also look into to see if you had too much back pressure from a plugged cat.

Your computer isn't going to take out your turn signal's and cause your engine to lose power.
