jerk

Hello all So my wee ti hasnt been well. Since I got the car serviced back in September (4 months ago), with new timing belt, waterpump and some electronics sorted (window switches, lights etc) the car still doesn't feel 100%. It still lacks the power I'd come to expect. While not a rocket...

so with summer now starting in australia and me owning a 156 SELESPEED :tut: the absolute joy of stopping on a hill with cars behind you and then waiting till the car gets to about 3000 revs before it engages gear :mad: then wow launch control takes over,( luckily havent had one of victorias...

Hi, I've returned to the Alfa fold after serveral years of Ford ownership, having bought a 3.0 166 Sportronic! :) My question is about the auto transmission... The gearbox is lovely and smooth with the exception of 2nd to 1st downchanges (e.g. when stopping for a junction), which...

Hi all Just picked up a pretty mint ph1 Spider (1996 with 45K). Just one issue so far......really jerky acceleration in 1st and 2nd gears when cold. Problem seems to go away when engine warms up. Have searched the threads and have so far deduced that it may be the MAF. Worth disconnecting to...

Found out my 146 boxer will start jerking recently when speed up, this only happen when RPM below than 2k but after above 2k will back to normal. I had clean the MAF and is not work! Next step i plan to clean the throttle body but fail to locate where's the part. Please share you though on it ...

Something strange happens when I reverse. During a reverse there is a sound sounds like a 'clonk' not too loud but audible from inside the car and at the same instance the car jerks. This happens 80% of the time when i reverse. Although this has occured since buying the car at 48000ml it never...
