Hi Guys

Had my civic for quite a while now. And noticed it's always been quite jerky when lifting off the throttle.
Quite hard to describe, but say driving along at 30 in 4th then lift off and it almost has a little lurch forwards.
Happens in ever gear at any speed, just more noticeable at slower speeds.
Is this normal?

Cheers
Joe

It's been noted by most FN2 owners that it's difficult to drive these cars slowly as they are 'jerky'. It's even worse when the engine is cold

To answer your original question though, mine is similar, if you come off the throttle very quickly in high revs then it's a bit 'jerky', worse at lower speeds.

Nothing to worry about I think mate

Yes it is jerky. just something you adapt to after a while.

annoying when cold. I usually sit or 5 mins to let the engine warm up before setting off

Cool.
Thought it was just the character of the car. But can be quite a big jolt at times.

Alot of FN2 owners are using V Power as well which helps. Try some BG 44k in their as well.

I get the same thing with mine... I didn't realise everyone has the same issue though.

Feels a lot more like its the transmission rather than the engine.
I do run it on sainsburys super 97 ron.

Can't say I've had jerkiness when coming off the throttle. Usually get when applying power while cold not coming off throttle.

I get this too with my ctr. Its kinda like the transmission is taking up the slack, but my vaux combo van does the same so got used to it.

Yeah that's exactly what it feels like.
If its normal then it's fine. Just feels pretty weird and not had it in any of my cars before.
