98 Honda Civic Violent Jerking
Hello,
I bought a used 1998 Honda Civic about two years back. Lately it has been jerking very violently whenever I accelerate and change gears. And when I come to a stop, it takes it longer than it should for it start accelerating again. Any ideas as to what could be wrong with it and what I should focus my attention on?

It could be anything.I would start by checking sparkplugs and wires,distributor cap and rotor,and fuel filter.If one of those are bad i would change it asap your car may just need a tune up.

I kind of have the same problem.. i think. After I shift gears it will sound like the motor is bogging down and jerk the car a bit. I thought it was bad gas but I have since filled up 3 times since that batch and it still does it but not as often. My spark plugs and wires are good, have not checked the dizzy yet.

Not trying to thread jack. Searching this problem was a pain. Everyone describes the symptoms different. Throwing it out there helps him, me and others since not every threads' replies help. His solution could end up on my thread and vice versa.
But thanks for pointing out that all I said was "me too".
