hey guys, my car keep jerking, and ii am wondering what is wrong with it.
i upgraded my gas to the v-power, but the car keeps hiccuping at stop lights and red lights.
what can i do to fix the problem?
help me thru this process please.

 

i thought this thread was about something TOTALLY different.....................

 

DAMNIT- you beat me to it. Just kidding.

 

Uhm....any codes?

 

Upgraded gas to V-power? Did you mean to say spark plugs? Change your fuel filter, PCV valve, clean throttle body. it is most likely something needing to be changed. Also make sure no hoses are leaking, broken, off, or cracked.

If none of that fixes your problem than it is probably beyond me.









oh and......WOOHOO 500 posts!

 

....and it seems like just yesterday you were a noob. Oh wait, that was yesterday. POST *****!!!!!!

Okay, so i felt bad just making a lame post and leaving the guy hanging. V-power? is that anything like the Z Max system? ( that ish can't be good:" And our special lubricant actually soaks into the metal!!!!")


Luga, you need to give us some more info:
1. How many miles on the car?
2. How long since the car's maintence has been done?
3. IT only "jerks" when accelerating from a stop, or it'll do it while already driving?
4. Auto or 5-speed?


something i learned from my time on the .org: The more info you give when describing a problem, the faster and more accurate the response will be.

 

I had this same problem a while back. When my car would be at a stop it would hiccup, kind of like jerk (it wouldn't do it all the time). I had no idea what it was and many people on here didnt either. After a trying a couple of things the guys on here suggested that I check my ignition coils and it turned out one of them was bad. It is doing it again now and it is really annoying so I have to check them out.

 

my car did that too. i checked the codes and it was 0304 and it was the knock sensor.. im getting mine replaced for $45. hopefully it fixes this problem

my car is a 1995 auto maxima with 143k on it.
the maintenance was done two months ago, and i change the oil when its due.
it hiccups at stop lights, and it jerks when in motion.
please help me.

 

It's probably the coil packs http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=286287
