Jerking between 3000-4000rpm. HELP !


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, recently my car starts to jerk a little once it touches 3000rpm and stops at 4000rpm. This happens especially in the morning and also when say u are crusing at a constant speed and u step a bit more gas suddenly. Doesnt matter which gear u are on so long as it touches that range it will start to jerk a bit. If I were to do a launch, I realise there no jerking at all. Don't think its the boost cut because u don't have to put your foot down all the way to have the jerking. And it's not misfiring for sure coz I just changed my plugs and regapped to 0.8. My fuel pump works fine and injectors too I think, if not the jerking might be everywhere when I push the motor. Wondering if any of u guys had this problem before or any of u can help.

is it making a sort of stuttering noise? if so its probably a boost leak.. check all your major hoses and intake piping.

Had that problem in the past myself. Ok at light throttle, but soon as it got to a certain point the motor (or ECU working out the engine was lacking) would start playing funny buggers and stutter.

I've had this problem as well. I would be willing to bet you a slab of beer it's a bad plug or dirty coils. If your out north take it to these guys

My car just came back from the wrokshop. Problem solve...phewww! My cam sensor is faulty. Now it is back to normal. But my tuner actually lower my boost to 0.70 - 0.75 Bar and surprisingly I got a little kws on wheels gain comparing with what I boost before (0.95-1.0 bar). So theortically if I boost back to 0.95 - 1.0 Bar I get more rwkws? What do u guys reckon?

i have the same problem , like someone tapping on yr brakes when u accelerate. It only started happening only after i had my fmic , pump , regulator and boost (0.9bar). I just changed my plugs with .8 gap so cant be plugs. is it really the coils?

Hard to say unless you drive the thing yourself. I had a similar problem between 4000 -5000. I tried so many things, including new platinum plugs, pulled out the injectors and had them cleaned and flow tested, new oxygen sensor blah blah blah....still happening.

I swapped my old pod filter for a spanking new K&N pod..... problem solved. Guess she wasn't sucking enough air. Some times it's the little things :D

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
