I have a 95 Olds eighty eight. When I get up to about 40mph my car just started jerking while accelerating. It was doing this from 40mph-70mph only while pushing the gas. If I keep the speed steady or had the cruise on, everything seemed fine. In park, I gas it and it responds fine. I put it in gear (with my foot on brake) and give it gas and the engine has that "jerking" response. Changed plugs and wires, no help. Took to a mechanic he said the motor mounts are bad. I asked him how would that make the car jerk.... he said during acceleration, the motor turns and since there are bad motor mounts the engine is moving more than it should and is pulling on some electrical mechanisms which is causing a bad connection/loose wiring, etc. Any suggestions/comments to this post would be appreciated!

LOL, at least he's creative.
I would try unplugging the Mass Air Flow sensor to see if it makes a difference. You can't leave it unplugged but if it cures the problem, replace the sensor.
