You shoudl be able to reroute the sensor wire. I have to go change the fuel filter on my wifes van now. So I wont be back for a little while. Good luck.

I moved the wiring and secured it in its new place and either that worked or the car just needed to run some gunk out of the engine or something cause I took it out and after a few seconds of running it stopped jerking. I'm gonna head down and buy some Seafoam tomorow and pour it in the tank to clean out some more gunk and hopefully it stays working now. If not I'll come back and update

Ok...this might be airflow related.

Unplug your MAF sensor and see if the problem goes away. If it does, either the MAF is bad...or it'* very dirty.

It is the sensor that has the number ending in -03....there are three wires coming out of it. Unplug it, see if the driving improves any. Do not run it like this longterm...this is just a test. If the sensor is unplugged, the computer will default to the internal values programmed into it, so it will still run, though not as well as it could.

Actually, let'* get it cleaned first, before doing the unplugging test. You will need to take the sensor off of the TB, and clean the two resistor wires with MAF cleaner spray....do not use anything else but that spray! You can find it at autozone or advance....or any other auto part store for that matter.
