Avante engine jerks on idling or moving

[Bluepica]

My 5 yrs old ride suddenly starts to jerk when idling, on and off.. Sometimes driving, it jerks once a while too.., once, for a moment, when I accelerate, the car moves like running out of fuel...

I wonder what's going on and what should I check?

 

In case the car died on road, who shall I call or where shall I call tow truck to tow to? I have not sent to any workshop before or do I know any car repairman.

 

Can anyone recommend a reliable and inexpensive Avante workshop or repairman to me? I only afraid those workshop that I drive to will anyhow say this and that need to change.

 

Thanks for help.

Change air filter and do a throttle body cleaning.
