okay im not too good with this stuff but its a 2000 nissan primera wagon, automatic hyper cvt i think its a QG 18 DD engine and its done 127,000ks.
i started having problems with a rev needle thats constantly bouncing around and now the cars started shuddering /jerking in bouts almost like it going to stall when im driving.the problems getting worse its been in the shop 3 times and had a sensor and sparks replaced and now we have been told its normal for a cvt needle to bounce and the car to jerk like its going to die. any help would be really appreciated.
cheers

I had a similar problem (listed in the post above yours)

The car would shutter fiercely and usually stalled when I decelerated (not while driving).

Replacing the distributor, and thus the Crank Angle Sensor, fixed my stalling problem.

You said you had a sensor replaced - which one?
