Injectors cleaning problems

Jerks when accelerating 
Solved
Ford Escape 2003 135000 miles
After a service was done to my car, it jerks when accelerating considerably. Every time it does so, the alternator light appears in the dashboard but it has no charging issues. The scanner registers a crankshaft's sensor failure. I've disconnected the exhaust, cleaned injectors, checked coils and hoses and even changed spark plugs but the problem is still there. Any help?

I have been told that by changing all the coils the problem should be solved. If the scanner detects which of the cylinders is having a coil failure you can then replace only the damaged ones. Tell me if I could help you please.

I personally believe that your problem is that your car has not been washed with a carburetor cleaner when the tune was made.

I had your same problem and the cause ended up being an ignition coil. Once it was detected which was the damaged coil with the code errors in the dashboard, it was replaced and the problem was solved.

CommentJerks while driving Solved
Ford Escape 2004 180000 miles
I have a Ford Escape 3.0 v6 2004 and my problem is that, at idle speed, the engine trembles as with small jerks and the battery dashboard light flikers when a failure is presented. The jerks appear when driving at a speed of around 40-45 mph. I've already changed the alternator, spark plugs, checked the ignition coil and cleaned the injectors. What might be happening? Thanks for your help.

The problem has been solved. The vehicle was scanned and code errors P0316 and P0306 appeared, indicating a misfire in the cylinder 6. This cylinder's coil was failing, so it was replaced and the original problem disappeared. The engine is now working perfectly.
