fib Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hi guys, I'm getting pretty jerky acceleration, it feels like i'm driving over a staircase. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298751-jerky-acceleration/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic_A31 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 One or more cylinders not firing. Check fuel injection, spark, air, timing. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298751-jerky-acceleration/#findComment-4968249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fib Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Possibly the Ryco air filter I put in hmmm I'll put back the old ones to see how it goes, then sparks next. Cheers, fibbo.

mad082 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 air filter will have nothing to do with it, (unless you didn't take the wrapping off). more than likely a spark issue caused by dodgy coils or plugs. but you haven't exactly given us much info to work on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298751-jerky-acceleration/#findComment-4968764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fib Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm taking it to the mechanic sometime this arvo. Two weeks ago I had an idle/stall/jerky acceleration problem the mechanic cleaned the AFMs and it was all good... now the jerky accel thing again I read the AFM post on this forum about dry solder joints being the problem. I was about to open up the AFMs to have a go myself, but dad said his mechanic friend can have a look first... so I'll keep u guys updated hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298751-jerky-acceleration/#findComment-4970516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fib Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I didn't trust the local mechanic so went ahead and did afew things myself. Cleaned the AFMs, opened and resoldered the joints, changed spark plugs (they had iridiums already in there doh). Ryco air filter. Still same problem. Where the heck is the gtr battery located? lol Took it to CRD today, man they have a tonne of skylines there! An R35 was being dyno'd the sound of that thing is SWEET! Will keep this updated, hopefully it isnt coilpacks lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298751-jerky-acceleration/#findComment-4979031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fib Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Problem solved thanks to CRD. Had a vacuum hose to ?regulator split causing lean running replaced. Knock sensor gave error codes, wiring upgraded, timing reset... they power ran it on dyno and it was all clear. A bit pricey but I am very happy with the service and will gladly give CRD my business next time. Cheers, fibbo.
