My 2001 Acura jerks after a certain speed or going up hill
Asked by Maxamillius Sep 16, 2014 at 11:01 PM about the 2001 Acura CL 3.2 FWD
Question type: General
so for a while now i noticed my car starts to jerk when I'm on the highway going higher
than 60 or if I'm going up a decent slope. at first i was for sure it was the cylinders so i
replaced half of them, didn't have enough money for all of them, and it was good for a
little while but started doing it again. later i noticed that when the car isn't moving it also
shakes. now my check engine light came on and i brang it to a shop and almost all of the
cylinders were misfired. does anyone else have troubles with their cars cylinders going
out fast?

When you say cylinders do you mean spark plugs?

No i mean the cylinders. On the reader it comes up as "cylinder 1 misfire, cylinder 3 misfire, etc." But would the coils cause them to misfire?
I have same car exact car and mine does the same thing, also when in park it starts revving up , i still cannot figure out why it has been doing it
I have the same car as well and I had similar problem with my car surgeing the EGR ports were clogged and dirty throttle body took the plenum off and u can see it looks like a maze clean all the gunk outta dat and same with throttle body take it apart clean it good with break cleaner or throttle body cleaner and use a fuel stabilizer like sea foam cleans injectors filters debris carbon deposits over time I was skeptical on using it but noticed results on few vehicles over the years and the car misfire problem definitely not cylinder problem u getting a royal fucking from your garage could be bad injector or wire problem or coil plug definitely not cylinder gone
