- Does this jerking sensation feel like the [engine](/topics-engine-cadillac/) has the hiccups?
- Any warning lights on or flashing while driving?

Thanks for those details.
When the check engine light flashes, this means the cpm[uter has detected an active misfire is occurring. The symptoms you have fit that of an ignition misfire. Most likely to blame on one or spark plugs or [ignition coils](/topics-ignition-coil-cadillac/) that are faulty. I recommend you start off with a tune-up. I also recommend these steps be done to get the engine running its best. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qog204qhjbnm42s/FFFF82620.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qog204qhjbnm42s/FFFF82620.png?dl=0)

Are you saying the last time you had the car diagnosed was 2 years ago not recently for the current issues?

No. I had it diagnosed 2 weeks ago and it only showed purge valve problem. I got my spark plug replaced two years ago

Thanks,
You will need a shop to run a power balance test to see which cylinders are dropping out causing the misfire to see which cylinders to check the coils, injectors, and compression.
