Acceleration problems with a Ford Transit

I have a 2019 Ford Transit with a diesel engine and 191,000 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing problems accelerating. When I go from idle to first gear, the car jerks as if it doesn't immediately engage. Does anyone have experience with this problem or suggestions for a solution?

A 2019 Ford Transit with a diesel engine is experiencing acceleration issues, specifically jerking when shifting from idle to first gear. Possible causes include a clogged or dirty fuel filter, which can impede proper fuel flow and affect acceleration. A suggested solution is to inspect and replace the fuel filter to see if it resolves the issue.

Check the fuel filter for any clogs or dirt, as this can affect acceleration. If it's dirty, replace it and see if the problem improves. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!

This problem only occurs with start/stop.

Check if the start/stop system is functioning properly by ensuring the battery is fully charged and in good condition, as a weak battery can cause issues with the system. If the problem persists, it might be worth having a mechanic inspect the start/stop system. Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions!
