Some Nissan Pickup owners report experiencing jerking issues that may stem from several potential causes. These include problems with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, which can affect acceleration and idling. Additionally, cracked or loose driveline mounts are reported to cause excess driveline movements, necessitating replacement with new factory original mounts. Some owners have also identified issues with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system contributing to jerking problems. Furthermore, improper ignition timing, plug gaps, and the condition of ignition components can lead to multiple-misfire events. Inadequate fuel, air, or spark during acceleration has also been noted as a cause of jerking, surging, or stuttering. Lastly, moisture collecting beneath the distributor cap can inhibit performance, prompting some owners to park their vehicles under cover to mitigate this issue. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to ensure smooth driving and prevent further vehicle damage.
