I have a 1992 pontaic grand am with 157965 miles on the car..I love this car it has been a very good car but i am so fustrated because I have had the same problem with the car for over 6 months now and can't figure out what is wrong..First of all it does this ever so often..and then for a whole week my car drives fine with no problems..when i start the car up the engine idles really fast. And when the engine slows down it starts to jerk back and fourth. and then when i take it out of park to either put in in reverse or drive and take the brake pedal off, The car just goes with out putting the gas on..When i do put the gas on the speedometer goes from 0 to 120 in less then a second. and then it jumbs from 90 to 120 and then when I am at a red light it idles fast and then the engine starts to jerk again...Sometimes it jerks when i let go of the gas petal... Sometimes the car will fix it self and go back to normal like the speedometer will go back to what speed i really am going and then the car doesn't jump or idle really fast when is start it up again. But then A week later I will have the same problems with it. I have changed everything i can think of...the map sencor,oxygen sencor,IAC sencor, speed sencor. I don't know what else to do..I love my car and would like to have it abit longer if possible PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Throttle body position sensor. Possibly it is reporting that the throttle is wide open when it is actually closed causing the acceleration?
