This started happening about a week ago when the climate shifted from warm to cold to warm to dead cold.

During light throttle and low RPM, like crusing around town, the car sometimes starts to studder and jump forward. It started happening during a snow storm while I was driving on the highway and I would hit a certain speed/RPM the car would start to jump. At first I thought it could have been axles acting up because my inner boots are torn to hell and the studdering was so violent, but I don't think thats the case now.

I looked at my batt. voltage while the car was studdering and it starts to drop when the studdering starts, and jumps back up to the norm when it ends

My car also has a really rough, low idle during cold starts and a strong sense of gas now. I started at the same time as the studdering. After the car warms up the idle is normal, but the studdering problem still happens under light throttle.

Anybody have an idea what sensor I should check out first? Its cold outside and I don't have alot of working room so I want to make my time efficient.

I tried resetting the ECU to no luck

**cliffs - car studders at light throttle, what sensor/problem do you think it is?

I assume you dont have a Cel yet, hmm most people suggest to check your TPS sensor, but I also suggest checking your o2 sensor. I had the same **** happen to me, my car would bog the **** out, but I never received a Cel
