Those symptoms where happening to our car (a Dodge Neon) and having a look at the spark plugs showed they were way overdue for replacement. New spark plugs - and no more 'hiccups'. The ignition wires on a 99 might also be ready for replacement.

As said engine running is one of the main problems.
Also the transmission can give a jerk or shudder going into and out of lockup.

Tune up and transmission service is the way to go.
Any check engine lights on or flashing when it jerks?

What is your mileage?
How is the tune up end?
Has the transmission ever been serviced?
A good engine capable engine /transmission scanner may show the problem or have codes stored in memory even with no lights on.
