Entourage engine jerking

My 2008 Hyundai Entourage with a gasoline engine is acting up. 155328 km on it. The check engine light is on, and it's jerking like crazy when I accelerate. I scanned it and it's throwing some error codes. Thinking it might be fuel injectors or maybe even the fuel pump, but I'm not sure. Anyone else experienced this kind of rough idle and jerking?

A 2008 Hyundai Entourage was experiencing engine jerking and a check engine light, with initial suspicions on the fuel injectors or fuel pump. Another individual suggested checking for exhaust leaks, which can disrupt the engine's air/fuel mixture and cause similar symptoms. Upon inspection at a shop, an exhaust leak was confirmed and repaired, resolving the issue.

Sounds familiar. I had something similar happen with my Entourage. Have you checked for any exhaust leaks? That can cause some pretty funky engine behavior, especially with those symptoms.

Exhaust leaks, huh? Where should I be looking, specifically? I was so focused on the fuel system I didn't even consider that.

Yeah, I had a small crack in the exhaust manifold. It was enough to mess with the engine's air/fuel mixture. Honestly, unless you're really comfortable working on exhaust systems, I'd take it to a shop. They can pressure test it and find the leak pretty quickly.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to the shop, and you nailed it – exhaust leak. Cost me 265€ to get it fixed. Runs like a champ now. Appreciate the help!
