The other day i cleaned out my engine bay. i covered up all the imporant stuff like a normal sane person would. after i was done i let it sit for about 2-3 hours. then i drove her for a while. eveyrthing ws fine. the next morning on the way to school it was fine. then after school it was fine until i got 5 minutes form my house. it started to act like i's not getting gas then all of a sudden it'll kick back in and it'll make my car jerk. it's embarassing. lol anyways, i changed my spark plugs, distributor cap, spark plug wires, fuel filter. i took a blow dryer and dryed out every single connection i could see and grab. after all this it still doing the same thing all input is welcome.

nobody had this problem? god....must be these damn MAZDA 2.2Liters..haha just kidding...the F2T's ROCK

 

Someone PUHLEAZE HELP ME....im going INSANE. i cant figure out WTF is wrong with it. i'll let it idle for 5-10min and it idles perfect...rev it up high and it's fine then about after 3-4 minutes of driving i get jerking....wtf is the problem? thanx

 

does it run rough when you rumpp on the gas right after you started

 

CRANKWALK!!!!!!!!!! j/k

 

no i'll be driving normally then about after a minute of driving down the street at a steady pace not fast it starts to jerk...like it'll loose gas then it'll kick bakck in, hence the jerking.

 

Water can make it's way throught the spark plug tube seals into the combustion chaimber, I've seen this happen on Mazda motors, idle it through a half tank of gas on a warm day withthe hood up, then try again.

 

bump that, what a waste of money...do what i do, drive for an hour and the problem will go away

 

i had an Ford escort that had the same problem. It would run fine and then start jerking. It was a computer problem. the only way i could make it go away was to disconect the battery. And let it sit like that for a while. then its fine for another few months then it would do it again.

 

well all in all i drove it for about an hour over the past 2 days. the F2T's get pretty damn hot just for idling but that's normal. ummm..would it help if i unplugged the ECU and plugged it back in? or should i just take the (-) cable off and let it sit like that for 30minutes? thanx for all the input guys. help is verry appreciated.
