    I replaced the belt 5 years ago. 2 trips from CA to VA plus 30k miles. The tensioner probably came from the factory. 5 years ago I though I should have changed the tensioner spring but couldn't find 1 at the time

    ITs fairly new. I checked it but its only a year or so old. I also sprayed the sensor thing in either the air intake hose or on the air cleaner cap. I also sprayed around the whole engine and found no vacuum leaks.

    1st time posting I tried searching but found nothing that actually fixed the problem. I mostly found suggestions but most seem way wrong. Its my wifes protege 5 Only when the car is warm we will get a bucking/ jerking at 3000 rpms when we are under acceleration. Once we get over 3000 rpms...
