have you checked it aint just the spark plug is knackered?
Are you losing any coolant? Is the engine breathing heavy?

Does the jerking happen all the time or only when the engine is hot?

Check that the plugs are OK one of mine were tracking down the side missed like a good un.
If it tends to happen when it gets hot I would lean towards coil breakdown but you say that you have already changed one ,you could try running without the cover on the coils/top of the engine and see if it alters with a change of temp
But the coils are a bit fragile, I ended up buying a pair of new ones after trawling round the salvage yards for used

only when the car gets warm it fookin does it
Check the IACV - Idle Air Control Valve, this can stick and allow the incorrect amount of air into the engine and cause running problems. Easy to remove and clean it.

If it starts missfiring as it gets hot then it's usually the coil. Were the replacement coil packs genuine ones? In some cases fitting a new coil pack with an old one can cause the old one to fail.
