Hi! So yeah I have an intermittent stutter at low RPM while I'm in gear. Usually happens in 1st through 3rd between 1k-2.5k. Only thing I can do is put the clutch in and wait for the engine to go to idle. Idle is nice and steady so I don't think its that. I'm headed towards MAP sensor.

What do you guys think? I'm going to be taking it in to Bellevue Honda this week if I can find the time but wanted to hear from the copious amount of knowledge here first

Thanks!!

PS Yes I tried the search No luck.

 

Could be.

 

your map is fine. everything's cool

 

That could be too.

You can easily get your car to start bucking and jerking when in low gears. As the car surges forward, your foot comes back off the gas a little. That slows the car down, which makes your foot come forward a little. That speeds the car up, ad infinitum. Or at least ad nauseum.

 

it's not that.

bucking is a common issue on all s2000s. especially when you're in stop and go traffic. you just put in the clutch, wait for the engine to chill out, and resume.

map is a different feel. it's when you're usually trying to go WOT and it hesitates at higher RPMs.

what you're describing happens when you're going over a series of small bumps at low speeds. sux.

 

wack it anyways, just cause it's fun ..... oh, you talking about your car?

 

A nervous foot on the far right pedal could cause the symptoms above. Have one of us drive your car to verify.

 

i guarantee it's not the nervous foot

and u probably have the nervous foot et al due to all those chemicals you inhale every single day. really stop

 

Yeah Jerry. Stop doing those steroids.

 

What about the Vodka... do I have to quit the Vokda?
