Like X2 that, like why would you? like

 

none at all

 

I dont think anything should be wrong with it, it sounds like its just stalling. Im not 100% sure though, someone correct me if Im wrong.

 

damn, 10 post already, that was fast!

hey OP,

CEL = check engine light
LCA = lower control arm
MC = master cylinder
BB = brake booster

these are a couple of abbrevations we use on here to type faster.


also, why would you shift from 2nd to 4th? i miss understood what you whwere saying originally. i though you where talking about when you shift (1..2..3..4) and you were once if 4th that the car would shake.

how about using 3rd, flooring it and then using 4th. it might just take care of your problem!

 

any gear on low rmp and when engine is uner load like with a lot of people and full of stuff

 

It's hard to tell if there's actually a problem here... If the shaking is very violent, and persists in higher rpms, you're probably not firing properly. Does your exhaust smell rich? Does your catalytic converter get very hot, and possibly glow after a long drive? Are you getting very poor gas mileage? Does the problem get worse as the car warms up?

If any of those symptoms sound accurate, do two things: change all your spark plugs, and check all the grounding connections in your engine bay. Faulty grounding connections to the block may prevent your spark plugs from reaching enough potential to actually create a spark.

 

All you base are belong to us

Huh?

 

Get an auto trans that way you don't need to worry about missing 3rd.

 

could be bad spark plugs or bad distributor or clogged fuel filter

wtf is wrong shifting from 2-4?? with my type r tranny its just fine **** i go 1-3-5 it feels just like a sohc vtec ex tranny and im still cruising 3k at 45mph in 5th.. i try and save gas

 

Did this just start recently, only when you jump gears or what? My civic doesn't do this when I skip gears on accident, but my cavalier did the exact same thing just before the clutch took a crap and the tranny had to be rebuilt.

 

I never skip gears I just said like that to explain by the way are you in sacranebto because I want somebody to test drive my car

 

i have a B18C, and Im having what seems to be the same problem as you. If I floor it, i smell a lot of gas and the car looses a LOT of power, i.e. it doesnt run right after 6000rpm and just bogs.

 

no my revs to 8rpm and everything its just that one thing
