MMMM....kinda sounds like a rod knock. When was the last time you did a full tune-up?? Maybe it's due, or your motor has too many miles on it, it's about to blow.

Has only like 50,000 miles on the clock, I tune my engine once a month, cleaned the carb yesterday and it goes better but still has the problem

Ok, drive it down the freeway for a couple min, or the city for 10-15 min. Look under the car and see if the cat's glowing red, if it is then it's plugged and that is a problem. The jerking and sputtering when you are driving is usually a spark and fuel issue. Clean everything you can, but with only 50,000 miles on it, you may just wanna ask the dealership. What year?

96 or 97 model I don't have a catalatic converter on. My dizzy is vibrating and it damaged the rotor inside, fiddled with that yesterday and things are better but still there power has returned somewhat as well.
