    hey guys new here to the site,need some help. i have a 02 gp gt with the 3.8L.the problem im having is this car will jerk at different speeds and not all the time.it threw a bank1 s2 code so i changed out both 02 sensors.no help.so now im thinking tps sensor because i had the same problem on my ford van and that fixed it.ive also heard of people having trouble with the tranmissions on these cars but it feels more like a miss to me .also the abs and trac control light has been on for about 2 months but imo i dont think that is the problem,prob a wheel speed sensor on that.any help would be great thanks!

    Try driving the car for a while and if it jerks scan the car before you turn it off.

    the abs + trac light deal is typically an ABS sensor.

    The second 02 sensor sees if the cat is working, since you threw a code for that your cat is more than likely bad and pieces of it are randomly plugging up the exhaust.
