i drive a 97 ek with a swappd d15b. i fixd my check engine light and it is OFF now but sometimes in accelleration, my car jerks a lil. also sometimes in acceleration my speedometer jumps. am i just trippin and that my CLUSTER is broken? or could there be somethin wrong?

 

someone?? the tow truck guy said he thinks my fuel pump is bad

 

check it, and jerking it is a sin! and u should not do it! haha get a girl lmao jk

check ur spark also, fuel lines, filter, etc

 

Change your spark plugs, distributor cap, and spark plug wires. Theres nothing wrong with the speedometer, it's the car thats doing it.

 

so u guys dont think anythins wrong with my fuel pump? and its normal for my speedometer to jump when my spark plugs/wires and distributer caps and fuel lines are messd up?

 

is there fuel in the car??

 

yea i still have some gas left not much but does it matter?sorry im kinda new to this type of stuff

If there wasn't fuel in the car, how would he know it was jerking? haha j/k... yes, changing the things i said might solve the problem. So let me guess, when you turn on the car, it feels fine. But once you start going and once it reaches 2000rpm to 2500rpm, it starts spudering right? like eeehhhhhhh pa pa pa pa eehh pa pa pa? If i guess right, theres is nothing wrong with your fuel pump. If your fuel pump was bad, your car won't be able to start from time to time.

hehe

 

uh yea, when i turn on the car it feels fine, then around 2k-2.5k it sometimes jerks a little but then it goes away. when it jerks it doesnt make any noises, you could just feel a lil jerk soemtimes and the speedometer jumps around sometimes. so.. is it the sparkplugs?dizzy?or?

 

you sure its not a misfire? hmm but misfire would throw a CEL...so... do what everyone says. change or swap plugs n wires to see if theres a difference. also could be a injectors. or a very lose dizzy. i know that in my car around 2k+ i get more vibrations. its like that in most honda's. thats why alot of people complain about hondas and move over toyota where the engine is quiter since its DOHC. but now that honda has changed directions (the motor actually rotates the other way now!) the new ones come with superior ride quality and sound!

 

Check all grounds, especially the one on the valve cover

 

uhm. i know 1 of my ground wire thats connected to my tranny rippd but i kinda taped it bac together. does loose ground wires cause car to jerk and stuff? and the speedometer problem.. is my speed sensor fuccd up?

 

yeah. it can. because you lose voltage to your ignition system which basically powers your sparks.

The speedometer could be jumping due to a bad alternator. If a ground wire has been ripped off, replace it with a new ground wire.

 

so... what should i do to my car? replace my rippd ground wire and.?

 

jerkins works well
