    Toyota Camry 2005: What is causing low speed jerking?

    In recent times my 2005 Toyota Camry Grande V6 has developed an annoying jerking motion at low speeds. The car has always been serviced and it idles beautifully. My mechanic ran the scanner over it and couldn't find anything serious. He said there is something there, but to just keep driving it till it gets worse. He might then be able to diagnose the fault. Up until recently I have used 95-premium fuel in the car, but because of the cost I am now using regular unleaded. Would this make a difference? We would appreciate any thoughts you may have on this matter.

    I doubt that changing the fuel would have the effect that you describe; it's more likely a mechanical fault that has developed. I would have your mechanic check the engine sensors and clean the throttle body.
