my accord used to do this awhile back but it stopped doing it after i took it to a mechanic, but i never figured out why it did this...........i dont know if its the motor or the tranny

when does it do it?
when you start boosting or idle or cruisng or what?

Legionnaire · 04-04-2006, 04:59 PM

its always random..........some days it just wont do it at all.........then the next day the engine will rev up.......and the car will start bucking......so i let go of the gas, and slowly press it.......and most of the time it stops it from bucking...........

Sounds electrical. Could be your throttle positioning sensor or a bad connection to the distributor. Of course if your fuel pressure isn't right it could act in a similar way, bad fuel pump or connector there too.

Just did this and stopped for me. Do a pressue check i was getting arount 10-15 lbs

i have a 7mgte and i am having a similar problem but only in 5th gear when i slam the throttle to the ground. it wont do it if i lightly get into it into boost then i can go all the way to the floor but if i snap it down from a cruise then it will buck and send a check engine light.

all the other gears i can slam them and have awsome power but 5th gear is just sensitive.

i checked the resistance on the tps and it is all good. i guess i need to try and see if i can pull a code or something. it feels like a miss fire or something but only in 5th gear.

If it sends the check engine light, you've hit fuel cut.

well i guess i will have to go around the fuel cut then. damn i was hoping i wouldn't have hit it this early in the game.
