My car jerks when I slow down.


I have a 2002 v6.When I come to a traffic light and slow down to like 5mph the car jerks a little bit.It only does it when Im slowing down.Could it be my rotors?It dont feel like its in the pedal.Any suggestions?Thanks.

Clean your IAC. I doubt it is your rotors.

um heres my 2 cents and idk its just a feeling....if you have a standard and when you come to a stop mabey your foot is only 1/2-3/4 down on the clutch and the car wants to stall??? if its not rotars which actually was my problem when i first got my car then my very un-educated guess (lol) is tht

I don't think it's anything serious. Mine does that sometimes too, I think it may have something to do with the transmission downshifting. But I have no problems with it.
