I started having a wierd thing happen this week. For the lack of a better word, I'll use "jerking" when I'm coasting down hill in gear unless I give it some pedal. I figure it's either bad gas and/or injectors need cleaning, fuel filter/fuel pump, or ? Any thoughts? I'm going to :cry: if I have to drive the Honda the rest of the summer and fall. -Kevin
I have this same problem on level ground and going up hills when my engine isn't warmed up. I think it's fuel injectors/filter, but could be wrong. It happens when I hit the gas too, but again, only when it isn't warmed up. There's a lot wrong with my car though, so it could be anything.
I used some of that STP fuel injector cleaner. It helped a little bit. Probably did more harm than good.
Good, so no extra damage. I can't remember any cracks in the intake tubing. Would it hurt to run another bottle through?
Thanks, hahaha yeah, I don't see any cracks, but since I have that temp fix coupler on my broken hose there I figured eventually something was going to act flakey. I need that hose I suspect and/ or an injector cleaning. I have your info, Paypal $ transfer in progress. Thanks bro, I owe you bigtime. If there's anything I can help 'ya with let me know. Seriously. -Kevin
The throttle plate is the butterfly in the throttle body. Follow your Intake Tubing up to where it meets the intake manifold.
first, undo the piping to the throttle body, and stick ya finger or somthing white, like a t shirt in and whipe it round. See how black it is? Get throttle body/carby cleaner. Follow instructions on da can. I did mine, ya wouldn't believe the shite in there, even after a couple of months.
Thanks everyone. Just so everyone knows, I only put prem gas in the car. I grabbed the injector cleaning additive today. Drove around alittle today, and it's about the same. Maybe it needs some more time to do it's thing. In the meantime, I might as well clean out the TB too. -Kevin
Might be something else then.... Almost sounds like a fuel pressure problem but what do I know...haha....
I was thinking fuel pump. However, I've never replaced a fuel pump in any car I've had so, I really don't know how this car would act if the FP was going. -Kevin
at least the fuel pumps are easy to get at on our cars there's a way to test fuel pressure at your rail as well somehow....
have a look at the gen4 celica bgbs at celicatech theres a section that says the probs and possible reasons. just google celica bgbs
Found out tonight that I have a bad plug wire. Hopefully, I'll get my hands on new wires this week. -K
