daver123 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Ok guys here's a tricky one. In second gear, on a hard acceleration, especial under load like on an incline, the rpm starts to surge at around 3000. The effect is as if i were to be accelerating an then let off the gas and punch it again repeatedly until i hit 6000, about 10 surges on the way up to 6000. I think it might be a fuel issue but im not sure, what is your take on this one? Manual '95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Hills+load+engine surging+manual transmission usually means a clutch slipping a little. Is it surging as in revving up without the speed increasing or cutting out/losing power? Edited April 14, 2010 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Could also be the 02 sensor if it is old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'd guess fuel filter, but have you run the ECU for fault codes yet? That's the best place to start. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlFairweather Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Lol when I first read the topic title I was like whaaa? Isnt it normal for your rpms to go up when you stomp on it hehe. Sounds like fuel related does it only happen on an incline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 check your vacuum lines too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver123 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have been busy the last few days so i haven't checked the ECU yet, but this problem occurs on flat ground too but most often and more noticeably on hills. the clutch is only 1.5 years old and i doubt that its slipping. O2 sensor and vacuum lines are also a good idea. That will give me something to tinker with on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
