My 2002 Town car has a very high, jerky acceleration. When I am stopped, it acts like its revving up. The check engine light is on, but it shows multiple codes. Any help would be appreciated. I am taking it to the shop next week, and I'd like to have some idea of what's going on.
Thanks!

    Could you share the multiple codes with us? It helps provide clues.

    My initial instinct says - idle control valve could be sticking. Vacuum leak could be present.
