Car jerking and hesitating while driving, need help

09 g37 V-6 with 85k miles, in the past 2 weeks, car is jerking and pulling during acceleration. Car seems to lose power and will not go. Usually lasts only about 45 seconds. Once the car has had a few minutes of rest it will return to normal. Has only happened twice. B4 taking to dealership any known issues or something I can check ?

Where are you located? Sounds like its probably a valve timing issue - check your oil pressure, if it's low you'll need to pull the timing covers and replace the gasket back there.

Hey I know your post was a couple years ago but did you ever end up finding out what was wrong with your car?

I cleaned my MAFs and throttle body. That seemed to do the trick for me
