Engine troubles
 

this one kind of sounds like a 3800 hesitation problem. But all threw the power band sometimes i feel a jerk jerk, I have no clue what it could be. Then it wants to stall sometimes, just once so far. it feels like i left off the pedal really quikly and then brake.....jerk jerk, can be when downshifting, or up shifting....just like 1st gear 5000 rpm, to 2nd gear to just under 2500 and it will Jerk jerk, just for a second. Please shed some light

thanks, happy thanksgivin to all you canadians!

Does it jerk then no power rev's drop and then comes alive again?

When was the last time you replaced your fuel filter?

My 7 started hesitating occasionally around the start of the month when I jumped on the gas. That crap ended with a new fuel filter.

Yeah, this isn't quite what you're describing, but each of our girls has her own idiosyncrasies. :)

Yeah, i love her. I will do some maintence this week, fuel filter, plugs wires stuff like that. It drops revs for like 3/4 of a sec then comes alive like nothin happened. Thanks for replies

evan

anyone else?

probably TPS a bit out of adjustment (even if the light reveals otherwise, some cars may require fine adjustment) or one with a bad spot int he low range. Could also be old plugs.

Sorry for the delay, I just had a very similar problem and wanted to make sure that it fixed the problem before I started advising :)

I put in some Wynns spit fire injector cleaner and about halfway through a full tank the problem stopped and has not come back again.

I've got some of that.well it's STP But i will try that when i put in a full tank of gas and change the oil...I will do that tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

How does one adjust the TPS??

dc350, have you tested the tps yet? whats the point of asking questions if you're not going to follow through on the responses...

no, i havent checked it yet. I can't find my multimeter. And the bucking has gone away.....but it comes back. And blowtus, the thread got kicked back to the top. I'm just tying to get info. DOnt get mad, it's not your problem.

heh, I'm not mad dude, don't worry. I just know how much that problem shit me...
