My Car Lurches Forward And The Rpms Go Up And Down While Driving

Rpm goes up n down when coming to stop jerks a little bit oil light blinks it does it randomly why? There's no misfires I had it scan also did tune up n oil change a few months ago.

The part of your question that sticks out to me is that your oil light is blinking on and off when coming to a stop.You should check the oil level in your engine because it may be dangerously low.Here’s why I think that:When the oil light comes on, even briefly, it means you have very low or no oil pressure.The oil lies in a sump at the bottom of the engine. When you come to a stop, the oil runs to the front of the engine. If the oil level is very low, the oil pump could run dry, and make the oil light flicker on. After you stop, the oil will run from the front of the engine back to the middle. The oil pump will start working again and the oil light will flicker out.Why is this dangerous?Without adequate oil, friction and heat build rapidly. As heat builds, the parts actually start to melt which makes them weak. The first part to break will be flung around inside the engine, hitting and breaking many other parts.Inevitably, some of these parts will be flung through the oil pan or the block. This releases oil and sometimes coolant onto the highway. Oil, of course, is very slippery. If you’re unlucky, the oil slick may cause you or the cars behind you to crash.At highway speeds, this can happen less than a minute.So, check that oil. It’s important.

Why does my car momentarily lose power after shifting gears?

You've asked several questions here...and also given some information that may have an impact on the answers you might get.   You mention that the clutch is about to "go".  If this is the case, it is typically manifested by "clutch slip" which is when you press the accelerator and the engine speeds up, but the car doesn't go any faster..i.e. the clutch is "slipping" against the flywheel/pressure plate without transferring the increased rpm of the engine to the transmission.  If the clutch is indeed slipping, then this phenomenon is most noticeable right after you change gears, because your putting more demands on the engine (i.e. accelerating) and attempting to put more torque from the engine into the transmission (via the clutch) which causes it to slip more than it might in steady-state driving at a constant speed.   If you are experiencing a slipping clutch you most likely need to replace it and afterward the car should accelerate smoothly and there will be a synchronicity between engine speed and car speed.Now, if your clutch is NOT slipping and your experiencing a perceived loss of power after shifting gears, it may just be that the engine rpm are dropping off too far before you reengage the clutch and resume acceleration.  If this is the case, you may be taking too much time between disengaging the clutch (by pressing the clutch pedal) and re-engaging it (by lifting off the clutch pedal)  When shifting gears, the clutch pedal should be pressed and released fairly quickly as part of a smooth, movement synchronized with moving the shift lever from one gear to the next. If you are pausing in the middle of the shift, or taking too long to reengage the clutch, the engine rpm will fall and the engine will be making less power than it was at the higher rpm level it was when you initiated your gear change.  The idea is to keep the engine in a range of rpm that produces enough power to smoothly take up the level of acceleration you're trying to achieve while changing up through the gears.

Why does my car jerk when I accelerate? The RPM quickly goes up and down a few times and then stops. It only happens at the beginning of the ride and then it's fine.

As Bill has said, your car’s automatic transmission is shifting through the gears. It's not that hard to soften the “jerk.” Just lift your accelerator foot a bit when it's about to shift.You can both hear, and with the tach, see this moment. Listen to your engine!In my experience, automatic transmissions are only “not smooth” under hard acceleration. Taking things a bit easier will improve your passengers’ comfort remarkably. And you'll spend less on gasoline.

How do I shift gear in manual car faster without jerking or slowing down?

Ok first, if it takes a couple years to learn this right, that's OK. It is not a simple skill and many people aren't even capable of driving a manual transmission at all. You just passed your test, it's completely reasonable that you're not perfect at this skill. Practice and you will get better. The goal in shifting is to be quick, while also being smooth, with the latter being a bit more important. For a smother feel without loss of speed, try to maintain acceleration. Many beginners let up on the gas too much during shifting, partly because they shift too slow. When you let the clutch up, you should give enough gas to feel the engine pulling you forward as soon as you hit the friction point. When you feel that, let the clutch up quickly and floor it again. Every car is different, so stay with your car for a while, and if you switch cars watch for different stick and clutch feel. Here's an example in my RX-8, which shifts at very high rpm...I could film my feet if you think it would help, this is a common question
