Default Car jerks after flooring it

When flooring the car, the car jerks after it takes off. A few people have told me
it might be the traction contol? Could that really be it?
Doesn't seem like it to me.

Yea that's the traction control cutting you off...Turn it off and the problem will alleviate.

If you have it, theres a little button that says TCS to the upper-right of your stereo.

I thought there might be a problem with the fuel line of something.
It seems like it loses power and then all of a sudden regains it and
then takes off. Will deffinatly (spelling ?) be trying that tonight.

From what you described it's definitly the TCS.
