Hey all, on my way home today, I got that jerking/choking problem. While stopping, the idle is fine, but when I begin to accelerate, about 2nd and 3rd gear, the car start to jerk a bit. If I hold the throttle steady, the car would jerk more, choking sort of. Although it does not happen every time, but the car did died once on me.
I changed the spark plugs, rotor and cap a month ago, my timing was at 15 (I check this afternoon while getting my cat weld on), my fuel pressure, reading off my gauge was ~30psi. I just look at my spark plugs, cap and rotor, they seem to be normal comparing to my old one (except the spark plugs, still new I guess). Any other place to look for? How do I check if I have a bad fuel pump or not?

This is a 95 h22a, short ram intake and everything else is stock.

Thank you all

 

i had the same problem mine was the dizzy had a buddy turn it for me finally got it right and no jerking just pure power

 

hey lobesex, what you mean by turn it, can you clarify that? thanks

 

He means to literally turn your rotor a few degrees i'm no entirely fimiliar with this because i have a 5th gen but OBD1 Dizzys can be turned to mess with timing. For more info on that you should just search (on this site) for "adjusting timing with distrubutor" that should give you some results. But then Again i don't no what year your H22 is in your accord.....

 

Oh ok, thanks Tunerguy. I have a 95 accord with the H22a in it. I'll will check out the timing again later and adjust it if I need to, but I'm thinking of getting new spark plug wire. Do you think pepboys wire are ok or should I just stick to the NGK wires?

 

just dont jerk wile accelerating

 

Ok, so I just changed the spark plug wire, check the timing again, which everything is fine, although I do notice spark plug on cylinder 4 seem to be a little bit of greenish color. I'm not sure what is that mean.
When I took it out for a drive, at first, it still jerking a bit, and the car just stall every time I let go of the gas. After couple mins driving, the car seem to be ok. When I hit vtec, the choking come back. After that, the car would jerking/choking at 3rd and 4th gear, and die couple times. After let it idle for half an hour, the car seem to be fine now. So I still don't know what is the problem, any other ideas guys?

 

New cap and rotor fixed this problem for me. Cheap and easy fix..

 

Somehow the car ran fined today without any problem, except when I turn the wheel, I heard this metal grinding sort of, even if I just stand still and turn the wheel.

 

sounds like fuel filter except u said fuel pressure was good.....

 

Mine was an o2 sensor that went bad.
