Hi!  
  
  
  
 Does anyone have a clue as to why my 1993 Geo Prizm, LSi w/1.8-liter engine & manual transmission lurches when I accelerate and is more pronounced when the engine is cold?  
  
  
  
 The troubleshooting steps to date:  
  
 \*Cleaning fuel system & injector.  
  
 \*Changing the spark plugs.  
  
 \*Recently had distributor timed due to smog check inspection.  
  
  
  
 Any suggestions?
