2004 Suzuki Verona hesitating and jerking with ck eng light on
Recently when stepping on gas, the car hesitates for a few seconds, almost like it's gonna shut off, then takes off like a jet. Today the check engine light came on and the car jerks a couple of times when I hit the accelator. Had the car in shop for coil, spark plugs, leaky head gasket - over $2,000 worth of work!

I've got the same make/model and issue. I've got a mechanic I trust who changed the spark plugs and pc valve (about $200). The problem has persisted and he's telling me we need to change the spark plug wires which I avoided because they were going to cost me $120 @ Autozone. So I knew if I'd ordered through my mechanic or the dealer they would have been twice that not including labor. If it doesn't work...I'll be calling click and clack.
One thing I can say...is that this car is the best example of why you need a trustworthy mechanic. Someone who is willing to try and eliminate an issue one at a time versus what they did to you. I really love my car and have grown to realize the parts are hard to find and rival BMW's in price. Find another mechanic...and if when you buy a part for routine maintenance...buy two.
