I have a new to me 2019 1.5 awd equinox with 71,000 miles. Under light acceleration it jerks almost like a miss also does it when getting into the gas like getting on the highway.

I have an obdII scanner and live view shows no miss and no codes. I haven't changed the sparkplugs cause it's cold could that possibly be it? If not any ideas?

What type of code scanner do you have? A more advanced scanner might reveal something. Need to look at fuel trims, MAF/MAP data and O2 sensor data to diagnose further.

More testing is needed. Don't start throwing parts at it and risk introducing additional faults. Why would you? Follow the data not a hunch.

It's just a top scan bi directional Bluetooth to phone app one. It shows live data can run tests its not a 6k one but for what it is it does alot. I don't know what normal fuel trims or maf are for this vehicle and I've looked for them online.

I'm not... well just sparkplugs cause I read to change them every 60k miles but other then that im not. I'm used to old gm v8 vehicles where I know what's wrong just by sound and feel and a little testing.

These new cars which I was reluctant to get are to damn advanced for me. I recently got a extended warranty for that reason and everything is expensive on these cars now, but I have a month and 1000 miles before I can use it just trying to make it.
