Hi Guys,

My car seems to jerk round 2000rpm - 3000rpm, i replaced the feul pump, and had the AFM and ICV checked out - they are perfect.
What else do you think it can be?

if it also has a lumpy idle it could be that a vacuum hose has come off, any slight increase in air in the engine will cause juddering and lumpy idle

Idle is rock steady... no lumpiness whatsoever.

Most likely worn track on the AFM - 2-3000rpm is probably where it spent most of its life, thus the wear.
