car acts like its out of gas then jerks into normal acceleration?
Ok ive noticed recently on my b18c swap that when i first go down the road from start up it would bog like either it was out of gas or like it pulled a ton of timing through the ecu. Its a smooth major loss of power, but then if i press the gas pedal it jerks and comes back to the normal power, sometimes it does it sometimes it doesnt, its intermittent.
No CELS at all any guesses? Could this be the MAP sensor?

Might be the TPS... I am having this problem and am actually running fine with it unplugged until my replacement arrives from eBay. Try removing the plug from the TPS and drive it around the block. The CEL WILL come on. Also, are you running a chipped ECU or and OBD 2 to 1 adapter harness?

I haven't currently done the plugs or wires yet, i don't have any reason the believe it to be any of those problems as of yet, im thinking a sensor or something considering it isn't a constant but thats coming down the pike if i dont get a reply from someone who knows for sure, ill try the TPS sensor first.

Re: car acts like its out of gas then jerks into normal acceleration?
If it is the TPS like I suspect, it will get worse. With my car, it only did it once or twice at first and then started to do it almost every time I drove the car, especially annoying when trying to pass on the freeway. As I said, I unplugged it, and it drives fine, slight loss of fuel economy, I am down from 35mpg to 30mpg, but it runs great( I have a B16B so we have similar motors overall design wise)

Well, in my case, it was the TPS. I unplugged it and it now runs like normal. I am waiting on my replacement to come from eBay, but it has not yet arrived
