The basic function of the IAC valve is to prevent the car from going off at no throttle position.
Okay so the jerking in my case is not near idle or at idle. it's more higher, I dont know the rpm as theres no tacho.

So the IAC valve maintains the idle whereas the DFCO cuts the fuel at no throttle. So once you back off the gas pedal the DFCO kicks in by cutting the fuel but the IAC valve makes sure that this fuel cut off does not stall the engine and again sparks which I guess is causing the jerk?

Is that right?
