Cars Falls Flat on Its Face In 1st!!!

[bowdown201]

Ok so the car just recently started acting weird. Whenever I go to start off in first and slowly touchthe throttle it just falls flat on its face and jerks real hard. Also when im driving and I just barely touch the gas it just kinda jumps for a sec...also just kinda drops off for a second when i completely let out of the gas. It only does it for just that one moment when i touch the gas or let out. but when im steady throttle it drives fine. plugs are good but im leaning on it may be something to do with the distributer or fuel filter??? any suggestions?My buddys car is doing the same thing. Cars are eg civic with b20 and ek civic with ls/turbo

check your grounds especially the thermostat housing one. i just went threw this same problem and it turned out the 10mm bolt on the housing wasnt all the way tight. hope that helps

[bowdown201]

aight will do preciate it man ill see if it works later. reps

anyone else?

[NEMO]

when you say it fall flat you meaning its bogging. can you clear up alittle

[bowdown201]

not really a bog just jerks. kinda hard to explain but you can just feel it jerk when you touch the gas or let out. its not smooth like it should be

[NEMO]

i might have to ride with you to see what your talking about. but hope someone can help out on here.

ok so when u start the car up it will idle?

[bowdown201]

yea it idles just fine. and when im at a steady speed with my foot on the gas its perfectly normal. it just when i go to start off it just jerks real hard like theres no power almost. dunno its weird

[yeaiwonder88]

my 92 civic does the samething...kinda its more than likely the fuel injectors are dirty....when was the last time you ran fuel system cleaner. and does it have very little traces of smoke??

[TIGERJC]

is it pulling codes? Might be going in limp mode

[bowdown201]

no no codes. the turbo car isnt throwing any cel and mine is just throwing o2 sensor. dont think its the injectors tho cause turbo car has ne rc injectors and his is doing it too.

[yeaiwonder88]

look it up the problems you just listed, is a common cause of "dribbley injectors" idk could be something else...

[bowdown201]

anybody else?

[NEMO]

do you think you might be lossing some compression

[bowdown201]

dunno. hope not. its been doin it for a while now tho

[Grimm Reeper]

Ok here's a random question for you, if you can or have already, start your car and barely hold down the accelerator does the throttle bounce back and forth

[bowdown201]

nope

- verify that the TPS is putting out the proper voltage.

- clean your injectors manually instead of relying on some "cleaner" to do it (i.e. remove them, pull the screen out - apply voltage and spray carb cleaner through them)

- check your grounds as someone stated earlier

- change gas stations

I think everyone is thinking far too much about this problem....if it is "jerky" when you are barely on or barely off the throttle, it sounds to me like the throttle body may be sticking. That has happened to me in several of my cars. Check that before you try anything else.

[bowdown201]

dont think its the trottle body cause it only does it on ocassion.

[Black4DrEK]

yo, run some SEA FOAM threw that bitch... see if it does the problem still!!! SEA FOAM is the shit!!

good luck bro!

[Dirka Dirka]

dont think its the trottle body cause it only does it on ocassion.

That is exactly why i think it IS the throttle body. But, thats just my opinion.

[ash7]

dont think its the trottle body cause it only does it on ocassion.

just a question... have you actually checked anything we have suggested?

You're on here looking for opinions and suggestions - ...at least twice you've said "...derrr, uh no, i don't think that's it - anyone else?"

We're not going to come over to your house and fix your car for you...

[bowdown201]

Noones making you give your fuckin opinion so if you dont like what ive said then gtfo. I appreciate EVERYONES advice and yes ive been over everything but cant seem to come up with a conclusion on it yet. Its not the trottle body i put a dif one on it today and still does it sometimes

[_Subzero_]

well shit man, ROLL WITH IT!! jk..but idk, i never had that problem. g/l on finding the problem.

[Theycall_Metue]

is it kicking only when the car is cold or every time you accelerate?
