this problem just started recently. i will start the 1995.0 isuzu rodeo with its 3.2L engine, and it will begin to sputter. i allow it to warm up, and still, it sputters. then i shift into drive, and it begins to jerk slightly (much like there is a hole in the exhaust--however, there isn't). at low rpms, and when going up hills, the jerking is more noticeable. i never had this problem before, and now i do. what could be causing this problem? please help.

well i just had my oil changed 1k miles ago. and i had a tune up the oil change before that. it could be the egr valve or vacuum hoses too. i didn't think of o2 sensor.

Do you have plug wires? If so, have you ever changed them?
Fuel filter?

I would check the fuel filter then the plugs and wires.
Is it throwing any codes?
