This issue could be caused by a variety of factors, such as a clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning throttle position sensor. It is best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Astra and it turned out to be a faulty ignition coil. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix, so you may want to check that first.

Make sure you are using the correct fuel for your car. Using lower grade fuel can lead to performance issues like jerky acceleration.

Have you checked your spark plugs? They may be worn out or dirty, which can affect acceleration. Consider replacing them.

One possible solution is to reset your car's engine control unit (ECU). This can sometimes resolve performance issues. You can do this by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.
