Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing jerking during acceleration and rough idle after replacing spark plug coils. This jerking can be attributed to several factors, including dirty fuel injectors, worn-out spark plugs, or clogged air filters. Additionally, faulty spark plugs or a weak fuel system may contribute to rough idle issues. Misfires, often linked to spark plugs or coil packs, are also commonly reported as a cause of acceleration jerking. Owners are advised to ensure that the replacement spark plug coils are compatible and properly installed to prevent exacerbating the problem. If issues persist, it may be necessary to inspect other components like the mass airflow sensor, throttle position sensor, or oxygen sensors, and consulting a mechanic or dealership for a thorough diagnosis is recommended.
