Default Car troubles please help...

My '95 mustang has a jerky acceleration when it warms up and car shakes when I'm sitting at red light. When I start the car it runs ok but it gets worse when the car warms up. I replaced spark plugs, put in injector cleaner into gas but that didn't help. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

any check engine light? sounds like an 02 sensor or something, because it sounds to be running rich. when it's cold, rich = good. when it's warm, rich = bad. check your air filter, fuel filter etc

No check engine light, I guess if one of the sensors would go bad I would get check engine light right? So it must be something else.

? sticky injectors cause a rich condition. When the engine is cold, this is fine it needs it rich. as it warms up and the injector is spraying too much fuel, it's like running a lawn mower on 1/2 choke... it runs rough
