Car jerking and rough idle
Saturday, April 29, 2006 6:52 PM
did cap wires and plugs, oil change, and added in injector cleaner. but so far my 2.0 is still lurching at times when driving like it wants to go into over drive but its only a 3 speed auto. not sure if it would be the coil or not. its a trottle body injection non-turbo any help woul be great. also is it possible to change out the dash pad in a bird and if so how hard is it?

Probably the catalytic converter is stopped up. try banging on it a few times with a hammer and see if that works.

well tryed that and seemed to work or so i thought. I noticed it doesnt do it till the engine is warm so i am guessing it must be something on the engine end of it or maybe the cat need to be removed.

I'm having a similar problem with my car. Check the EGR valve too, it may have a vacuum leak. Just a thought....
