Okay I have a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT, I love my car and never had any problems out of it until about July of last year. The problems subsided and I thought I had just simply gotten a hold of bad fuel. For the past month my check engine light has been coming back on, it will be on sometimes and sometimes it won't. At first I thought it was bad fuel again but now I think otherwise.
Problems I am having include;
1. Sometimes the car won't start and in order for it to start, I have to push on the accelerator while cranking the engine.

2. When it tries to change gears it sometimes sputters, or jerks.

3. At times, I won't have any problems even with the CEL is on, but at others when I hit 60MPH it starts jerking and missing.

4. It feels resistant.

Does anyone know what is going on and will you help me? I don't know much about cars, but I don't have the money to take it to a garage.. I would really appreciate some help.
