hey guys.
In the mornings when i start my car and begin to drive it feels really jerky in 1st and 2nd gear and i spend a lot of time bunny hopping after the first few corners. my mechanic said that it was the fuel i was using so I've been using shell 98 for just about 2 tanks now and its not any better. I also reset the ECU. Its really annoying (and a little embarrassing when other people are with me haha) does anybody have ideas??

Cam synch sensor? Mine is on the way out and when cold she is a angry so and so... coughs and splutters a bit which could be causing the jerkiness?
Just a thought.. |
