Delayed And Slow Response In Accelerating My 2005 Toyota Camry V6 Se / Why Does The Steering Of My 2004 Corolla Rocks Violently From 120km/hr Upwards? / Vibrating Steering While Accelerating (2) (3) (4)
Pls, What Can Make A Jerk Violently While Accelerating ! by pak: 10:18pm On Aug 29, 2011 |
Hello guys, I use a 2003 model Honda Accord. I just noticed some days back that while accelerating, my car suddenly jerks violently. Let me explain better, If the car is at, say 40km/hr and I start accelerating, when it gets to like 60 it stops increasing speed and starts jerking violently, if I take my leg a bit away from the pedal and move at constant speed (60km/hr) for about 30 seconds and then accelerate again it will respond to the acceleration until I get to like 80km/hr and it jerks again. and the same cycle occurs at 100km/hr. Please is there anybody with an idea of what can be going wrong with the car. Responses will be appreciated. P.S. - The first time I noticed, I did the wheel balancing and alignment but the probs still persist. |

Doin a wheel balance has nothin 2 do wit jerking, except you have vibrations at that speed. This jerkin would most likely be a fuel system related problem and your check engine light should be on. Hence, you need to have the car scanned to isolate the real problem. |

FUEL SYSTEM. jarking because the fuel system is failing. |

Engine misfire can cause that too, get car scanned and it will tell you which cylinder is not working. 1 Like |

Middleman: Servicing the nozzle and injector will solve the problem. Exactly what i did for a Customer over the weekend and Car is back up and running. |

@All Thanks everyone for your responses. @Sultaan I intended to have it scanned today but the wahala in Jos didnt allow me. but I pray its not engine problem O (In Jesus Name) I'll recommend the issue of servicing the Injector and nozzle to my mech when I see him. @middleman How come its gonna take till wednesday to get the car ? Is it not somethin that can be done within a day ? |

pak: Yes it can be done the same day, though it takes time and if the technician is a busy person,it may take days. |

Apart from the nozzles, injector or fuel pump, check your ECU or what we call brain box, faulty ones also can cause jerking in motion. |

Sounds like misfiring caused by one or more of your ignition coils |

calculusx: I am currently having this same problem with honda accord 2004. I have serviced the nozzle, injector , changed fuel pump, serviced the Map sensor..still no solution. Infact, once i reach speeds btw 60 to 70km/hr..it jerks violently that i have to take my leg off acceleration. I don't know what else to do. My mechanic said he has ran out of ideas |
