try replacing the fuel filter and run fuel system cleaner in your next tank.

your ignition could probably also use a tune-up.

correct me if im wrong but from what i understang your saying when you release the clutch pedal the car is not moving? when you push the gas pedal its starts to move, sounds like the clutch is badly slipping, please take your time typing so we can clearly understand what your saying and help you out,

when i engage the clutch into gear it works fine but the engine dosn't respond when i hit the gas or it starts to jerk the whole time .....its when i engage the clutch that it dosn't do any thing unless i rev the engine and get the rpm up and then engage then i responds ands accelerates rpms

the clutch it pretty good it lost traction a few times and clutch dosnt seem to be slipping

other than the filter u have any other ideas of what's causing/contributing to the problem
