[B]when i take off and just let it idle in 1st gear when i go to excelerate it cuts out and jerks like you were cutting fuel to the motor... you have to push the clutch in and rev it up to get it to clear up... what is causing this because it is driving me nuts... it will do it in second as well...

its not heat soak cause it will do it when its cold... and as to the torque at idle speed i dunno cause when you give it gas and it starts making torque it still stutters endless jerking until you rev it with the clutch engaged... any chance this could be in the tranny? it has a prob with tsb 0054 the noise and tsb 0055 1-2 grind

I agree with RazorV3. My car does this too but I guess most manual cars would if you floor it in gear at almost idle.
I never thought the car was to blame. I think it should be above 2000rpm to accelerate and that means using the clutch and a bit of slip.

what im saying is that the car will not come out of this stutter on its own.... i dont know maybe im just overreacting but hey its my baby and i dont want anything bad happening to it...

Why do you expect that it should accelerate from idle. It is not an automatic. They have torque converters etc to do this kind of thing. We have to use revs and the clutch.

s2knikko

well i figured it would give a jerk or two then clear up but it wont... i keeps on jerkin...

Mine has always done it when it's hot and I'm sitting in traffic. I've found that if you give it a quick rev, then let off the clutch as normal it seems to help. I'm going to do all of the Mugen cooling mods this summer and see if it helps. It's definately because of heat.....At least for mine.
