Car runs better in open loop

Ok I've got this anoying problen now for about 3 months. Everytime I go to give it gas after a shift in any gear the car jerks back and forth no matter if Im smooth with it or not. The other day I left the coolant temp sensor unplugged so the car would stay in open loop and sure enough the car ran perfectly smooth. I would assume that I have a bad sensor somewhere, but as for as my intercepter gauge tells me those sensors are all ok. Anyone have this problem??

Ok well in that case, doesn't Matt tune the car in closed loop, ie Power enrichment?

If he does, I would think it is something in the tune. You can always go back and he will update the tune for you for free I believe. Give him a call tomorrow and see what he says.

Could very well be. I read somewhere a little while back that after time our cars will retune itself to a certain extent. Maybe after over time yours finally got fubar'd enough to cause problems.
