Lagging feeling

okay well im driving along and it jerks every once in a while when you are driving it.....i jus changed the fuel filter and it helped the jerking a lil bit but it still does it. Also The check engine light is on, when you start the car up the light isnt on but after a second or two it turns on and the idle changes. Do you know what these problems can be.....? It doesnt have a air filter on it yet i need to get one......what would you say these things could be?

first of all, you dont "suck" out, you blow out. a filter sucks in.

Do a tune up and use seafoam. That should get rid of all your problems that the other 10 of your threads are about.

I'm seafoaming the whole motor in the next few weeks - even the crankcase. then if it burns oil, some of that Restore Engine Restorer is going in

Seafoam is this magic "hillbilly" stuff that cleans out your motor and makes it run better

Dude you need to suck it up and do all the basic maintenance on your car. It sounds like you have multiple issues that all need addressing. If you are not mechanically inclined, then just find someone who is and pay them. Also, please invest in a Helms manual, since most of your questions could be answered there.
