Golf V R32 :: CEL Flashing And Engine Stuttering?
I test drove a R32 today and had a question about a throttle hiccup. I tried searching but didn't come up with much...
I drove about 5 miles in traffic at 35-45 mph, eventually traffic cleared out, and the speed limit bumped up to 55. While accelerating from 40-55, probably half throttle opening, the cel started flashing and the engine began to stutter. I stopped the car, turned it off, and it started back up fine. On the way back, the situation repeated, but simply letting off the gas stopped it, and the cel stopped flashing.
Relevant info: 35 degrees F, 55k mileage, car behaved fine under small throttle openings. My best guess is the air flow or o2 sensors are gummed up from sitting at the dealership, but they're supposed to look at it and call me tomorrow. Does this sound like a common thing?
Golf/GTI VI :: Car Stuttering In Higher Gears And Accelerating In Like 3rd Or 4th
I have an APR Stage 1 flash done about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it and never had any issues.
I always leave my car in program two which is the 93 octane. I was driving home yesterday and when I was in the higher gears and accelerating in like 3rd or 4th and got the rpms up to 3500 to 4000 the car would stutter pretty hard. At one point it stuttered like 3 times in a row and then the check engine light blinked about 10 times and went away. When I got home I put the car back into stock mode and tried the same thing, but it ran smoothly with no issues.
Experienced this with the APR stage one flash. I'm thinking maybe it could be bad gas or the program didn't get set correctly, but not sure. I am going to put it back into the 93 program today and see if it still does the same thing.
Golf - Volkswagen :: 1999 - Stuttering Over 55mph
I own a 1999 VW Golf with 136+ thousand miles. We drive it mostly on surface streets and it runs fine. However, this past holiday we hopped on the expressway and as soon as we got above 55mph it started to stutter. It felt almost as if the spark plugs were misfiring. I've since given the spark plugs a once over and they look fine but I'm due for a tune up soon anyway and i intend to replace them. I can't feeling though that if the plugs are the problem, the car would be stuttering regardless of speed.
View 4 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Stuttering And Hesitation When Accelerating Or Under Load
I bought a cheap golf in february. It's an akl engine (1.6sr). Everything was fine on the way home. The car then wasn't used for like a month or two, and was stored outside. When we started using the car it gradually got more and more stuttering. At first it was just a slight stutter when accelerating, but now it's horrible. It will stutter and hesitate like crazy when accelerating or under load, but will cruise just fine at normal rpms. So far I have changed the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and a bad spark plug wire, but nothing has worked. I bought a vag scanner but couldn't find any codes. The idle isn't too bad but not perfect. What the problem can be?

1.6 FSI .. Very long story short, the engine is running like crap, idle is jumping up and down. Almost no power, its stuttering and so on and so on. Well I talked to a mechanic and he found out the problem, a throttle vacuum. (kinda like choke) he explained it as.
The part was ordered, and arrived. Me and my dad tried changing it and we met some struggles. After looking at it closely and trying different things we kinda gave up.
Here is the part that is broken, it adjusts the amount of fuel when its cold vs. hot
We concluded we needed to take the whole intake to access it ?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 1.8T Randomly Stuttering And Dying
I'm getting used to just expecting a problem with this car every 3 months or so. Anyway, I have a 2004 1.8T GLI which lately has been idling and then stutters and dies. The first time it happened it turned right back over and started driving. So I drove it home and cleaned up the battery terminals and it didn't seem to have a problem since. Now about a month later I was just parked and turned it over.
It was on for about 1 second and then it stuttered and died. I can hear the starter engaging and turning the engine, but it won't turn over. I also checked the battery levels and its showing 12v so I don't think it's electrical? From scanning forums here it seems like the two prime suspects are spark plugs or the fuel pump?
Also checked the fuses and none are burnt. I could see it being the fuel pump because that would explain it randomly stuttering and dying. Also the car is at 149k miles and that is the original pump. Wondering if maybe it being at 1/4 tank isn't working either? Going out to buy a vagcom and see what codes it throws!
Golf IV R32 :: Stuttering Under Hard Acceleration And Battery Voltage Dropped
Recently the car was stuttering under hard acceleration and battery voltage dropped, I have a batt gauge. Got harness replaced and symptoms are gone but this must be happening to others with or without symptoms.
Check your fuse box on top of the battery. The alternator harness wire turns silver after many years of use. Your battery volts will drop also and you can see it with a gauge. I changed this harness and symptoms went away. It's the thick gauge wire all the way to the left. This needs to be changed with a new alternator. Many people prob don't know their harness is causing high resistance affecting the quality of smoothness.
The hotter the car gets the worse it gets if you have this issue. More RPMS, is more electricity and more resistance. There is no CEL for this. The harness should be copper colored, if it turns silver it's old and needs to be swapped. If you drive low Rpms all the time you won't notice. But it's an R, who does this?
The harness is around $90 and car has to be in service mode to get to the alternator. This is my 2nd alternator and kept my original harness when replaced, bad idea.
It takes under 20 seconds to pop the hood and open the fuse box to see what color your harness cable is. I expect most to be silver not copper, but whether you have symptoms or not depends on severity.
Golf/GTI VI :: Slight Hesitation / Stuttering Around 5500 - 6100 RPMs
So last night i was having some fun doing a wot pull from 2-5th and bam misfire p0301 code for cylinder 1. During the pulls i felt and noticed slight hesitation/stuttering around 5500-6100 rpms. When i let off it felt like cylinder1 was totally dead. Had a flashing cel + epc light come on, so i pull over turn the car off and now it won start. When you go to start it, it just continues to turn over, doesn't even sound like it's attempting to fire up. Feels like it doesn't have compression. There wasn't any loud out of the ordinary noise when this happened, other than the obvious misfire.
I had changed the coilpacks to the r8 red tops, and swapped out my plugs about 8k miles ago, so i doubt it's them. Did the HPFP around 15k miles ago, so i doubt it's that, plus i smell fuel while turning it over. If i had to guess i screwed up a valve. Maybe an injector best case scenario, but i dont think so. At the dealer now waiting to hear back from them sometime next week.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Stuttering Sound When Braking?
Our 2010 Prius makes a "stuttering" sound when braking under certain conditions.
Here are audio examples of this sound: Toyota Prius Braking Noise that Dealership Claims is Normal - Clyp
The sound only happens when we are gently applying the brakes while turning (either direction) at about 10-15 MPH, especially if that turn has even a slight negative (downward) slope.
It's like a clicking sound that repeats 5-10 times with maybe 0.1 secondsbetween each click.

View 1 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Stuttering When Cruise At 50 MPH
My 2008 2.4-L NF has a minor issue. When I cruise at ~50 MPH, the car "stutters" for lack of a better word. For some reason I have trouble explaining this, but I guess a good description is that it's like a series of minor but rapid changes in throttle position--but faster than you could possibly do intentionally.
It seems worst when I first start it cold, and then get up to speed on the parkway near my house. It does do it at full temp, but it's hardly noticeable then. Even at its worst (i.e. when cold), it's something no one else has mentioned to me, so I guess I'm the only one that notices it.
What's weird is that it doesn't happen at any other speed other than ~50 MPH. Even a minor change in speed eliminates the problem.
Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Engine Stuttering Between 20 - 50 Mph
2008 elantra, 57,500 miles (~92,500 kilometers)
While lightly accelerating or maintaining speed anywhere in the 20-50mph (30-80kph) range there's a slight jumpy or stuttering feeling. It feels like it's coming from the engine. It's not violent. Passengers don't notice. But it definitely doesn't feel right. It's kind of like a small succession of shakes that I can feel through the pedal. I've been trying to play with it to see when it does it. If you accelerate quickly through this range it won't do it and it actually feels really smooth. Outside of this range is also pretty smooth regardless of how quickly you accelerate. However if you accelerate slowly or just maintain speed or let your foot off the gas and lightly resume acceleration at any point in this range, the stuttering intermittently happens.
This is pretty annoying as 20-50mph is the speed I'm driving at most of the time (city/suburban driving).
Volvo - 245 :: 1986 - Stuttering When At Temp
I have an '86 245 with an intermittant engine stutter for the last several months. This only happens after the car has been running for about 20 minutes or on a hot day. It will stutter for several seconds (some times die) and then function normally for the next 5 to 30 minutes before it stutters again.The car was tuned up about 1 month before the problem startedI replaced the fuel pump relay, did not work. The shop told me the in tank pump was bad so they replaced that. This seemed to fix the problem but a month later it started to do it again.

So lately I have noticed this shuttering/stuttering when driving. It doesn't happen at any specific time its sort of random. I didn't know if its because of the extreme cold weather we have been having but its been happening too much. But I have also noticed a pretty gross oil smell coming from the car as well. What it could be?

I have 22K miles on my '12 TDI Passat VW. Suddenly there is a "stuttering" from the transmission between 1st and 2nd gear. Why is this happening now? And what can be done about it? Happens first thing in the morning. My dealer says "it is a characteristic of the transmission and this is normal." Normal? Why did I travel 22K miles before this started?
View 4 RepliesToyota - Camry :: Missing / Stuttering When Accelerating
I've been having a problem with my 1991 Toyota Camry, which has a manual transmission. Sometimes when I am accelerating, it seems to stutter, something other people have referred to as "missing". It seems to happen when I am in "too high a gear", by which I mean for example, if it is happening while I'm accelerating in 4th gear, the stuttering will stop if I downshift to 3rd gear. Friends have suggested I need a tuneup, others think it may just need new spark-plugs, but the fact that it depends on what gear I'm in strikes me as odd (not that I know much of anything about cars, though).
