Car jerks at 2000 rpm

I am having a weird issue where my car starts jerking at around 1500 rpm and gets really bad at 2000 rpm. After 2000 everything smooths out. It does not matter what gear I am in or what speed I am traveling (except at slower speeds, the jerk is very apparent). Even in 6th gear, traveling at 90 (which i believe is at around 2000 rpm) you can feel a hesitation (jerk). Any ideas?

Thanks

Could be the EGR. It functions at medium to high load conditions at low rpms.

2000 RPM Hesitation

I have a very minor hesitation at about 2,100 rpm. It's so
minor that most people do not even notice it. I wondered
if anyone else had the same thing. The hesitation did not
occur until after the install of Comp Pro Magnum 1.6:1
rockers. Or, it could have been there all along and was
just enhanced by the rockers.

I have never really looked into the EGR possibilities. It's
probably worth investigating. I am not experiencing any
performance degradation so I have not really looked into
it. Just my 2 cents.

possibly the opti

how are plugs, wires, coil, fuel filter etc?

my miss similar to yours was my opti going out.

what is your mileage on the opti?

replaced my with the Dynaspark and it is very smooth and strong.

Just an update:

Took the car to the dealer and they believe the problem is dirty injectors. I'm going to have the injectors cleaned the week...do you guys think this is going to be a waste of $100?

same skip

I have the same problem as you all. My car skips from idle to about 2300 then its fine. I have just put in a vigilante 3300 lockup, and i have a 2.73 gear. When i am in over drive the car jerks bad. I just had the engine rebuilt with a new opti and everything. I was thinking it may be the cam (cc305) but i am going to order new plugs and wires friday. I will post the change if there is any. Yall keep this post updated if u dont mind so maybe we all can get rid of this dern skip.
Thanks
