Question
why does my 2000 chevy impala jerk when i drive or when i'm on the highway

Answer
I'm assuiming by 'jerk', that you mean your car surges. The problem could be fuel starvation, due to a bad Fuel Pump, or a transmission problem. In either case, it would be best to have a Mechanic you trust, check your car out, so he can see firsthand what is happening, and then give you an accurate diagnosis.
