Need your help sifu's,

I just got back home and when driving home my car was very jerky when on throttle, just mild throttle only it will jerk, when it starts to jerk, the engine doesnt sound like its firing properly and there is no power to the wheel. the more i depress the throttle, the more the engine jerks...any idea whats wrong???
 
Two general things may relate to your issue .... It's either to do with the ignition (plugs, leads, etc) or the fuel system (pump, injectors, fuel-filter etc), presuming your's a fuel injected monster ...

I would sort out the former first. Pull the plugs out and check for fouled or signs ... if you know what I mean.
 
Thanks for all your feedback guys,

I brought my car to my mech today, he fired up the engine, listened to it for a bit, pressed de throttle for a bit and said it was my plugs. Poped open de bonnet and checked out the plugs, true enough there was some water and it was shorting out the plugs...dem it...like that also can...

never going to send my car to car wash and ask em to wash my engine

lucky i brought it to my usual mech to check out..i reckon other mechs may just get me to fork out $$ for a new set of plugs..

can now go back to full boost with jerkiness.....phew.... :)
