Default problem: jerky engine at low-mid speed

so my sister put down 4000 km or 2500 miles on her fit, i took the car out for a drive the other day and notice the car jerks going up a parkade slope at steady throttle and wrom engine. i first thought it was my foot work problem because i usually drive a datsun 280z and the throttle responds is day and night compair to fit , so i tried it again later the same night with a some what cold engine and it jerks again on flat road at low speed and that time i was sure it wasnt my problem.

so are other fits like that or it's just because the hamster under the hood's lag of torque? or is this a drive-by-wire problem or fuel mixture problem due to sensors/computer problem.

All I can say is that my Fit is pretty "jerky" when the engine is cold.

Is the jerkiness at a very low rpm? Maybe your lugging it too much. If it's over 2,500 rpm I would be worried that there is something wrong.

yeah, it happend right around 2500-3500, i was trying to get my car up a ramp, not too steep, on second gear. it didnt feel like it was stalling , it felt mechanical you know... like the throttle acts up on it's own and i held my foot steady. it was weird and happed for a short time so i couldnt figurout what was wrong. i've driven so many cars and never had that problem. so i just want to see if this is a kown problem or if this was how the fit works before i take the car back to dealer
