what is wrong with my bravo?

50000 miles, 2001 bravo

full mot just passed recerntly, with new cambelt

when driving, it does jerk on gears.

aat very very few times, i have seen the engine management light flash then go off.

its defo soemthing to do with how it is jerking on gears, if i move off one, its no longer smooth, its very slow then automatcally pushes speed?

any ideas.

Only a diag check can tell you for sure, and please what do you mean by “jerk on gears“, during driving or just when you switch gears.

during driving, if i move off first, it sort of pulls in normal motion after liek 2 seconds, its not driving smoothly.

a diag check showed nothing at all.

Measure the voltage on the battery poles when the engine is off and when its on.
Also where the emission tests on any borders, I mean high or low but still to pass MOT ?

Plugs changed when and what engine is it ?

After cambelt change you say...... i had mine done not long ago and the car would hop skip and fookin jump in the gears ended up being the cambelt out by a couple of teeth on the bottom pulley worth checking with garage a had to take mine back and they had to do it again no charge.........

If heaven is a place on earth why is it such a hell of a place to live.

looks lik the appintment has been booekd in for next monday

quick questions i think there is more to this then recheckign the cambelt

drove today with windows down so i can in full the progress with the car.

now moving first is fine, then al of a sudden is pushign up a level in speed so somethign is causing it to not drive smoothly.

the same in second gear, its trying to go smoothly fast but it cannot

possibly the exhaust, as i heard a few 'pops' from the back..sounded defo like the exhaust?

weird thign is i had a full exhaust change last year!!

any ideas?

 

[karl]

the popping could be a mis fire i doubt anything to do with the exhaust... you say the garage are going to have a look i would stand there and watch them... i did for over an hour whilst he checked mine... im sticking with the cambelt... your symptoms are the same..

thanks for replying

so the mis-fire is still related to the cambelt you think..

coudl the coils be an issue as well?? im sure they are related to the mis firing rather then the cambelt.
