Hey I got a 95 civic with a 95 gsr engine. when I cruiz on low rpms and I all of a sudden give gass, the car sarts jerking and I mean you can feel it jerk. But when it gets into higher rpm it is fine so what can it be? I called the performance dude and he said it sounds like tps. ???????????????????????? anybody in sacramento area know about swaps and b series that can test drive it??

who is this mysterious "performance dude" you speak of?

and he told you it was t.p.s. (tender ***** syndrome)??

i'll tell you one thing, i think he's mis-informed

 

well i know the tps is the throttle positioning sensor and if its on its way out yea the car will jerk or buck when you slam the gas

 

ok?

 

ok?

 

i'll bet its your spark plugs/injectors/wires.. My buddies car had the same problem in first gear when he would take off... I mean it would shake...almost buck so to speak.. stop go stop go..I'd get sick just watching the car take off .. let alone be in it.. get the plugs fixed, that will most likely do it, if not.. Just get all 3 to be sure...

 

what kind of clutch setup are you running?

 

Has it always done this, or is this a new swap?
What ECU are you running on it?
Missing could be alot of things, but tps is probably not one of them.
Check the obvious, plugs, wires, oil level, valves, etc...
If you want to check the tps, bust out the voltmeter, I believe it goes from .5 to 5V
Sounds like a bad tune, or your vtak or IAB are opening too early.

 

I dont know because I bought the car like that but why?
