car feels jumpy/jerky at low speed???

[Type R magik]

ive only driven my own ctr. .. so i am not sure if this is a problem or just normal. . . .

when at low speeds if i let go of the accelerator the car sort of jumps/shakes a little

took back to Honda and they said the throttle body valve was to tight. . something like that anyway! and that its fixed. . but its still the same lol

i think i get this but haven't really thought anything of it
i get it worse when the car is cold

Mine tends to lerch a bit, not like kangarooing, but just feels like the accelerator is very sensitive.

Am I right in thinking its a cable throttle and not electronic/fly by wire?

I had fbw on my previous car, RS Clio 172. Very smooth power delivery.

Think this is normal on facelift cars due to the lighter flywheel.

 

[Type R magik]

hmm i see...yeah its not a major issue to be honest, long as it don't get whorse

the car just lightly jerks forward n back once or twice when i let go of the pedal. . strange but its acceptable i guess

and yes the pedal is very sensitive lol especially for me as my last car had a very heavy pedal

 

[Chiffs]

Also get the same thing on my facelift


I got a solution for ya.

Leave a big gap and then just nail it and then brake hard = no more low speed problems

Mine is the same, not a fault so much as a characteristic. No worries

hmmm i see. . . but lately ive been driving my car a lot and its been annoying!! yet i can bear it i guess!

il be rolling along slowly in 1st gear in traffic and it will jerk forward and back a little, even if i press it lightly, unless i floor it lol! and also when i let go of the pedal for gear changing

Yep, its a characteristic of a lighter flywheel.

 

[Type R magik]

i guess i will just keep a eye on it, long as it don't get worse or anything

is their any other quick fix besides flooring it lol that i could do to cure this or a mod or anything??

 

[Neily03]

Fit the heavier flywheel from a pre-facelift. But that would silly.

 

[NickCTR]

Rolling in 1st gear

2nd gear when the car is moving mate

 

[Type R magik]

it mainly happens in first gear basically, other gears its not so bad

 

[NickCTR]

I rarely use first, only to get the car out the drive. From then on, it`s pulling away from junctions in second. The car won`t judder either

I do the same, second gear pull aways then you can just floor it :lol:

 

[NickCTR]

yep. 1st gear is too harsh for VTEC

 

[Type R magik]

thanks for help guys :smt023
i will try avoid 1st from now on lol

 

[monkey boy kev]

Does using 2nd to pull away not put extra strain/wear on the clutch?

 

[Chris.]

Yes. Dealers will love you.

Just learn a bit of clutch control.
