well, that sounds like fun...=) Well the guy said that #2 had kinda low compression. For some reason I didn't ask what the compression was...He told me lets try a valve adjustment...the car has about 125k on the odometer. so we're going to give that a shot...

Low compression won't make the car jerky more like underpowered and it would always be that way not intermittent... check the tps man...sensor on the left side of the throttle body

Well, after driving the for about 200 miles since i got it back...the problem is gone...? i asked him why he thought that the car would only do this every once in a while...he said he wasn't to sure, but said could be the motor is stronger at time??? well...i don't know if that was that good of an answer, but he fixed my problem...and the car runs great now. thanks again for all the help!!!

It the IAC. Same thing happen to me, it just die out quietly no jerking or rumbling noise. Just remove it from the intake manifold and clean it out with a carburetor cleaner.
