Golf IV R32 :: CEL Blinking - Slight Hesitation Around 2500 Under Hard Acceleration

The problem started with a slight hesitation around 2500 under hard acceleration. Then it became more pronounced from 2 to 3.5k. The CEL would blink when it happened for more than a few seconds. Eventually the CEL stayed on. Now the car idles roughly with a periodic thump feeling, and any time a load is put on the engine, it feels very rough. I don't have VAG-COM, so I don't have any codes.

Tiguan :: Hesitation Or Slight Jerking On Acceleration

I have a 2009 Tiguan 2.0T Gas 2WD Tiptronic Auto.

I noticed a while back on a cold morning that at first start the idle would seem off a bit.

I only would notice it for about a couple of minutes and then it would smooth out as I began to drive.

Lately that still happens some but mainly I have some hesitation or slight jerking as I accelerate now.

Mainly it will do it while starting to take off slowly/ when pulling a hill/ and when having to maintain a low speed behind many other cars.

I can counter act it a bit by stepping harder on the gas pedal(when there's room) and getting the RPM to go and stay over 2000 like on the highway.

If it is under 2000 RPM you can notice it pretty well.

I am concerned as I have not had this problem before and it is very well maintained and cared for.

Though it is likely due for a tune up...

What could be the most likely cause? I don't really want to take it to the dealer first as they would want a fee beforehand just to check it out.

It had a check engine light on for just a minute one day but it did not stay on.

If it stayed on then I could get the parts store to check it using the OBDII scanner.

Prius (2004-09) :: Mild Jerking When ICE Charging The Battery

I have an 05 prius with 108k miles that I bought about 3 months ago. I had noticed some times during phase 1 warm up where prius is in park and ice is charging the battery there will be mildly violent jerking of the car.

I was messing around the other morning, after driving the car about 30 minutes then letting it sit for about an hour in 40 degree f weather. I readied the car and it started charging the battery. While still in park i pressed the gas pedal to see what would happen. The mfd showed no arrows which I assume is normal. But when I let off the gas pedal there was a abrupt jerking as the mfd showed power flowing from the ice to the battery again.

Experienced jerkiness while in phase 1? After phase 1 is complete I do not notice any more of this behavior.

Ford Fuel System :: Mild Stumble / Hesitation When Dropped In Drive

460, stock RV motor with LT headers, Alum Stealth intake. Carb is brand new, Holley 600 cfm, out of the box.

Elec choke, vac 2nds. Timing is set to 12 BTDC.

Truck idles beautifully. Drop it in drive, it will ever so slightly stumble/hesitate then go liked a raped ape. Has great acceleration (for a 8k dually crewcab). In my mind, I'm thinking a slightly larger than stock accel pump to give a bigger shot.

However, it does have a 1" carb spacer. That and the hi rise stealth, is it leaning out for a sec and causing the stumble? Would pulling that 1" spacer work? I was thinking the higher the carb the better to get less heat dissipation from the engine's heat. Replacing the heater core now. So I have some time to sort it out. I'd like to road test a tank of gas through it, but gotta fix the heater 1st.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2005 - Slipping / Jerking At About 2500 RPMs In 2nd And 3rd Gear

I have a 2005 Santa Fe that for the last week or so has been slipping/jerking at about 2500rpms (2nd and 3rd gear). This only happens after the car has been warmed up and running for 20 minutes or so. I have put it into manual and it does not do this, only when in auto.

Golf/GTI VI :: Hesitation Under Moderate Acceleration In Second And Third Gears

Was back east this past weekend seeing some family. Went out with a friend of mine, who has lent me his 2011 DSG GTI APR Stage 1(car currently has 24k miles) many times in the past and it has always performed flawlessly.

We were out the other night and the car hesitated under moderate acceleration between 3500-4500rpm in second and third gears. It almost felt as though it was bucking a little, really odd. The hesitation comes in threes or fours, then moves on in the revs.

Passat (B6) :: Hesitation When Pressing On Gas At Around 2500 Rpm

Automatic with about 75k mils.

Car hesitates when pressing on the gas. I have to reach high speeds at a slow rate. If I want to push the car a bit, it will hesitate a lot around 2-2500 rpm.

Changed coil packs with new plugs. Dealer changed pcv valve changed by dealer, recall.

Car is stage 2 apr, full apr tbe, neuspeed intake, forge DV.

Could it be the MAF sensor, the DV, or cam follower failure?

Let me add, car is having horrible gas mileage.

Golf/GTI VII :: Hesitation / Acceleration Delay When Push The Gas Pedal

I am a first time owner of a 2015 VW Golf TSI and TDI, previously drove an Acura RSX.

I am noticing on both cars, more so in the TSI, that off a dead stop, when I push the gas pedal there is a hesitation/acceleration delay that I am not used to.

Is this normal? I just want to make sure that nothing is wrong with my cars as I am not well versed in this stuff.

Also, if it is normal, what is the cause behind this? and can it be modified to remove this lag?

Ford - F150 :: 2006 - Clunking Noise Under Mild Acceleration At 40 - 50 MPH?

I have a 2006 F150 with about 80k miles. It has a limited slip rear end. Under mild acceleration, "sometimes" there is a muted clunk at about 40-50mph. If I accelerate harder it does not happen. I cannot get it to happen at lower speeds. I cannot tell if its the transmission or rear end.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Intermittent Shuddering Under Mild Acceleration?

Over the past few months I've noticed that my truck has a very intermittent shudder under mild acceleration. If I accelerated more during the shudder it seemed to disappear until I let off the peddle a little. When it happens the truck doesn't seem to be lacking power and the engine throws no codes. It happened again today right as I had stopped at a red light. I noticed that it was shuddering at idle too. I shut the truck off at the intersection and the shudder was gone once restarted. What it may be?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Engine Noise Under Mild Acceleration

I have a 2005 F150, 5.4 triton. I bought the truck used and it came with an Edge tuner. It's lifted with 35's.

Under mild acceleration I get a psst-psst-psst-psst-psst-psst type noise. Sounds almost like air... It only happens in drive when you get on the gas and put a load on the engine but not always. It doesn't seem to happen if you mash the pedal...

I can't seem to replicate this sound in the driveway. I've never heard this sound before.

Golf VI R :: 2011 - Difficulty In Starting - Hesitation - Jerky Acceleration?

My 2011 Golf R is tuned to Stage 2+ by Revo and has the following hardware modifications:

1. Miltek turbo-back exhaust

2. Larger Intercooler supplied by Revo

3. Autech (spelling??) HPFP

4. Revo intake system with a foam filter

Lately I have experienced the following problems:

1. Difficulty in starting (sometimes)

2. A kind of "flutter" on starting as engine revs settle to the idle level

3. A noticeable hesitation in taking off from stand-still

4. Jerky acceleration immediately after the car moves from stand-still

5. At any speed, a noticeable hesitation when throttle is applied

All the above issues have happened in normal driving. By that I mean NOT hard driving. I drive my car on DSG "manual" shift mode.

Unfortunately customer service from, both, Revo and the VW dealer in Dubai leaves a lot to be desired. What are the different possible causes of the above problems, I can make sure that Revo / VW go through the full list until the cause(s) are identified.

Golf/GTI VII :: Full Throttle Acceleration - Slight Hesitation As Revs Climb

My GTI is the first FWD car I've had since 1985, so the issue that I'm having may be just me adapting to a front drive platform. Here's what's happening: when I nail the throttle in 3rd or 4th gear, on or about 4K rpm or above, the car feels as if it's hesitating slightly as the revs climb.

It accelerates fiercely (I have the JB1, and I had the Neuspeed Power Module before it, and it's reacted the same way with each mod), and it's almost as if the front end of the car is lifting and struggling for traction (although the traction control light doesn't come on).

Is what I'm experiencing normal FWD behavior? Is it the beginning of torque steer? I only notice this at full throttle--not noticeable at all at partial throttle. Also, it doesn't happen consistently. My car is a performance package manual.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Jerking Or Hesitation While Stopped

Santa Fe - 2004 - 2.7 liter automatic fwd.

I am experiencing an occasional jerking or hesitation while sitting stopped at lights and it also has a tendency to do the same as I begin to move from a stop at times. It almost seems like the transmission slipping or something but likely more engine related I think as I am at a stop. I have felt this slightly while at speed as well but not that often, at least not yet. It also seems more noticeable as the weather get warmer as was very noticeable late last summer and did not present itself again until spring.

Also-I have read that some threads re stalling issues(not exactly what I have) that can be related to the crankshaft position sensor and also read somewhere a while ago about an issue re the ecm needing reprogramming but have not found that recently.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: 2008 GS350 AWD Jerking And Hesitation At Low Speed

I just got a used GS350. At about 20-25mph, it can sometime hesitate/jerk when I am driving without much acceleration. If I press the accelerator hard, the car accelerates without much problem.

I tried searching through the forum but couldn't find same problem except maybe the LS460 [URL] ....

I have tried cleaning the MAF with CRC cleaner + resetting the ECU by unplugging the battery for 10minutes but I still have the problem. Strangely, I didn't have to recalibrate the windows after plugging out the battery, but the GPS did the long initial boot-up..

Honda - Accord :: 2009 - Jerking / Hesitation Chug While Accelerating

I have a 2009 honda accord, v6, auto, 46k. It has recently started to chug, most of the time, not always. I feel it in the gas pedal. Kind of a jerking, hesitation chug while accelerating. It only chugs between 20-40 mph, disappears after that. Someone suggested a spark plug problem, but I can't imagine it's that since it disappears after 40mph. Could it be a transmission problem?
