    Jerking in this range most often indicates a fault in the ignition system. Since you replaced the candles, essentially the coil remains. It's best to check the V gear slightly uphill, around 1500 rpm and press it downwards, as it is usually the ignition system. It jerks more with gas, because the spark-over voltage is higher by about 20% on gas.

    You don't write anything about replacing ignition cables.

    You don't have ignition cables? So how does the current get from the coil to the candles?
    As for the question, cracks can affect engine performance.

    After degreasing, smear cracked rubber on the pipe with silicone grease. Nevertheless, it is glass grinding. Generally for diagnosis rather than repair.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a Vectra B 1.8 X18XE1 engine experiencing jerking during acceleration, particularly between 1500-2000 RPM and under heavier throttle. Initial suspicions included components such as the ignition system, EGR, throttle, and exhaust issues. Users suggested checking the ignition coil and cables, as well as the condition of the spark plugs. The author confirmed the replacement of the ignition coil resolved the jerking issue, and they opted for GM original two-electrode spark plugs. The discussion concluded positively, noting the vehicle's improved performance after the repairs.
