Thread: Thinking about getting out of the sr20 gang

So i just took the car out for a spin after hammering the shit out of it and my engine is jerking again. I really have absolutely no clue as to why it is doing that all of the sudden after the accident. I know 95b14 said that the car can jerk if the 02 sensor was messed up in obd2 cars but im running obd1 could that still be the case? Does anybody know of anything else? I checked my spark plug wires, and injector wires just to see if one was lose but they are solid. Could it have somehow disturbed the internals of my ecu from the impact of the crash? I just have no clue what to look for.

Check your intake pipe and maf couplers you might have a leak. unmetered air could be getting into the motor causing it to freak out.

just went out and checked it that was all fine. I noticed a broken vacuum line so i replaced it and i still had the problem. for the first couple mins or so it runs fine then it starts doing the jerking thing at partial throttle. almost feels like boost cut or fuel cut. Everything was fine before the accident so idk if something got jared and messed up because of the impact or what.

update:

Just went out again today to check the codes and found that the 02 code and the tps code were thrown so i cleared them and so far the 02 didnt come back on but the tps kept going on and off. So it looks like i need to get a new tps and hopefully it should all be fine.

just read your OP...that sucks..hopefully everything will work out for ya...gl with the repair!

Everything is running great and I've been driving it for a couple weeks now. I have only replaced the hood so far but It looks like I did a pretty damn good job hammering because my hood closed perfectly. I really don't know how that happened. Hahah. I still have the fenders and light housings to replace but at least it is drivable and looks decent. Thanks everybody for your input.
