Just recently I got my car serviced and every now n then when i'm idling at lights... the car suddenly shakes and feels like it drops. It's very slight but noticeable... don't know if i'm just being paranoid, but does anyone know why that happens? Is it coz of new oil?

Another problem I sometimes get is when im doing say 30km/h and want to crawl a bit faster and SLIGHTLY press down on the accelerator and hold it, i get a fluttering sound like "pht ft pht ft..." then when i press down a bit more the normal engine sound kicks in and it goes just fine...

i :yes: someone reassure me!

Thanks

i think i'm having this same problem. only started recently,

On idle there is a faint shudder, can be heard through the exhaust lightly as well, car has also started to backfire just a little which might be related.

ahh race_snooze u gave me an idea. u say afm... i have a pod filter installed with no heat shield or support (its just like... hanging there), i wonder if that could be it.

...unlikely...

i reckon its the coil packs, it seems that if the coil pack/packs are bad there will be a loss of fire to one or more cylinders, which could cause drag on the engine and cause that "shudder" I sometimes get. apparently it can shut down some engines completely :S.

T187 do me a favour and get your coil packs checked, then tell me if that's the problem lol i'm a bit strapped for cash atm,

is it just me or do camry's and accord's not get these kinda problems?

lol

Im a bit strapped for time!

my cars pissing me off lately, first it was missfiring, turned the boost down a touch and all was good but still was not totally gone, so next step was coilpacks, went out and bought a new set, then the problem dissapeared for about 2 months, so i still have them rapped up in the box, then a couple weeks ago i noticed the slight shudder so im not sure what it is, planning on changing the fuel filter, undoing,redoing my piping, and seeing how that goes, replacing the coilpacks(however i checked the plugs and packs after i had the misifre and they were fine, no hairline cracks)

i'll post up when im done with all this work, now to find some time!

you could always swap for a charade, 3 cylinders FTW!

just an update, i got round to sorting out my car today, did a compression test(all good), went to change the plugs but nobody suppplies them here, they're NGK r7119-8, might have to get diff ones as these are pretty expensive and hard to find.

so bolted the old ones back in, (before i did i carefully cleaned/sanded the ends down as they were pretty dirty and built up), had new splitfire coils but decided i would put them in when i change the plugs, so all i ended up doing really was cleaning the plugs, Problem gone!

no more hesitation that i can notice and also my missfire at 3500-redline is totally gone! for now anyways

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
