accelerating from full stop

**typhoon** · March 16th, 2006 12:08 PM

Gandang araw po sa inyo,

Just this week kase, kapag galing ako sa full stop and I try to accelerate, parang nag-hehesitate sya na umabante. Usually dapat smooth ung transition ng clutch and gas di ba, as you step on the gas you disengage the clutch. This time, kelangan ko pa apakan ng mas madiin ung gas, otherwise parang mamamatayan. Parang nag-iistuck up yung gas or something kaya kelangan pa idiin ung apak. At times, I get the feeling na parang ayaw mag-disengage ng clutch kaya hirap timplahin. Mas ramdam sya when a/c is on and kapag medyo paahon ung daan. To test, nagpark ako and the car is in neutral, nirev ko sya. Ung rpm nya parang nagstuck up at some point then saka sya tataas uli. Kapag umaandar naman on 2nd-3rd gear, may instances na parang kumakadyot.

Right now, I have 4 things in mind enumerated below that might be causing this.

1) Bad Fuel. Nung weekend nagpakarga ako sa ibang Petron station. XCS pinakarga ko as I always do. Kaya ko naisip na baka eto problema kase I haven't experienced this before. Baka contaminated fuel?

2) Accelerator cable. Baka may sira kaya na-iistuck ung gas pedal?

3) Dirty TB or IACV. Sa mga nababasa ko kase before, eto ung cause sa almost similar problem. Pero di ba usually cause ito kapag erratic idling? Ung sakin kase, kapag nakatigil lang, normal naman idling nya, may a/c man o wala.

4) Clutch. Is this a sign of a sliding clutch? Sinubukan ko din kanina ung test na while parked and handbrake engaged, I shifted to first gear then slowly released the clutch while not stepping on the gas. Kumadyot sya and namatay engine. I believe this is the correct effect kaya I'm not really sure if this is a clutch problem. If it is, I hope it's the clutch master since kasama sya sa papalitan ko on Saturday kina Speedyfix. Otherwise, palit clutch na din kaya ito? Mileage is 100K and the clutch has not been replaced yet. This is one of the items that I intent to replace in the near future as well, medyo kulang lang kase pambili ngayon kaya sana hindi pa eto ang salarin.

Btw, car is a 94 EG LX.

These are just some of the things that come to my mind. Baka may iba pa kayo maisip or may na-encounter na din kayo na something similar para lang sana dagdag idea? Hindi ko tuloy muna gagamitin ung kotse until madala ko kina Speedyfix on Saturday.

Sensya na medyo mahaba na sya. Thanks in advance!

Are you sure all cylinders are still firing properly?

You mean kung walang loose compression? Hindi ko pa sya napa-compression testing kaya not really sure about this one. Maybe I will. It's just that this week lang sya nagsimula, last Tuesday to be exact.

Ok, syanga pala, pano pag hindi in-gear? Anong nangyayari pag tinapakan mo ang gas?

Baka sira isa spark plug or high-tension wire.

Kapag naka-neutral sya and I try to rev, parang nag-iistuck up sya at some point. Just upon reaching 1k rpm ayun parang medyo nagstuck sya pero aangat din after.

As for the spark plugs and fuel filter, kakapalit ko pa lang nung January. But I'll have these components inspected tomorrow pagpunta ko kina Speedyfix to be sure.
