jerky help needed please!

[Pete 0]

Hi guys, car has developed the annoying on/off throttle jerk that seems to be common.

 

Not being much of a mechanic I've booked into garage for Friday but rather than paying lots of time for diagnosis I was thinking about putting a list together of the common causes.

 

Doing a search listed dry solder on fuel pump, and maf plug, but is there anything else I can tell him to do in the first instance??

 

Cheers!

Im having this issue at the moment - have adjusted my throttle dampner as it wasnt doing anything, helped a little but problem still there.

Am going to replace engine mounts next as there seems to be a fair ammount of movement there.

im going to do a search for 'dry solder' now tho! :scratch:

Got this issue, was told it will be the damper. Not tried it yet though. Also mine has been scanned and has no faults. Will be watching this thread.

Was scanned when in for the MOT and all is well.

 

The throttle sensor seemed OK when I was looking at it but it'll be on the list to check.

 

Anyone know where the dry solder joints for fuel pump may be???

will try something else.
