1996 Ford Probe SE 2.0L 16v DOHC I4
Summary:
Peppy little car, be prepared to spend a couple dollars if you have one with over 120000 miles on it
Faults:
New motor and trans at 150000 miles, second gear went out of trans, and head cracked on motor.
Computer was reprogrammed at 209000 and updated.
General Comments:
Good car if you take care of it.
Easy on fuel.
Engine could use a little performance boost.
Fun to drive, easy to handle, makes a great introductory economical sport coupe.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Hello,
Did you ever look at the air intake hose? If it is cracked or broke, it is a vacuum leak, so the computer will increase and decrease the rpms to keep it running. Also that means there isn't enough air getting in your motor, so it will jerk from time to time. If it's not that, look into your clutch or torque converter. It might be that too for the jerking at least. I hope this helped you.
