Jerking
Hey, I was driving today and noticed that when I am in the low-rpm range, my car starts to jerk like it is about to die. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? I havent the slightest clue. Please help me. Thanks

Manual or auto?
Does your idle bounce around in neutral (say from 800-2000rpm)?
Does it completely die if you don't give it gas?
It could be the generic "surging idle" problem along with old motor mounts.- Ghosty

Sounds like the issue I've having, but 10 times worse. I suspect a tiny vacuum leak or EGR issue, but its mostly a guess.
Sorry I can't help anymore, but if I uncover anything, I'll be sure to let you know.
Hopefully someone can set us in the right direction.Opal Metallic Green '92 LX 2dr manual, 181k miles, '94 prelude VTEC wheels for summer (steelies with snow tires for winter), Omni-power struts/springs, and other junkComment

Sorry I wasnt clear earlier, its a 5 speed. The idel doesnt bounce around it just feels like the car struggles after the shift. I think is could be an ignition problem but not really sure.91 Coupe-Under ConstructionComment

Is it only in the 1500-2500 range under low throttle?
could be clogged egr ports

my friend had the exact same problem in her car, i think.. its in low range rpms, and it does it worse when you give it more gas, right? you might wanna check the spark plugs, wires, or distributer. hers were the plugs themselves.R.I.P 90 lx fodo ..my baby!

Hmm...that does describe mine, except it always clears up at 2,000, and doesn't always do it. Perhaps a lazy EGR valve or starting to clog? All tuneup stuff is semi-recent or checks out OK. Mine's also a 5-speed. I'm gonna keep an eye on it and see if the behavior changes with gas, temps, etc. See if I can find a correlation.Originally posted by accordaffair

ok guys, thanks. I will check the spark plugs and distributor cap and ect. I have been keeping it pretty well tuned up so I dont think that is the problem but who knows. When I give it gas, it does jerk more sometimes and sometimes it stops.91 Coupe-Under ConstructionComment

This is my problem right now and I have done the following with no Luck:
1- New dist cap and rotor
2- New wires
3- New NGK Iridium Plugs
4- New fuel filter.
5- Cleaned out EGR Valve with carb cleaner
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?Comment

You should clean the service ports, egr valve is not as important.

Agreed.Originally posted by accordaffair
As a test, why not disable the EGR valve? See if the problem still occurs.Opal Metallic Green '92 LX 2dr manual, 181k miles, '94 prelude VTEC wheels for summer (steelies with snow tires for winter), Omni-power struts/springs, and other junkComment

I've done that too. I'm going to do the service ports tomorrow and see if it cures it.Originally posted by 93_EXR.Comment
