SOURCE: jerking problem

Morganoffat,
I'm not a mechanic but I have 15 years in the parts business. From what you say I will point you into the direction I beleive your problem is. I would check your throttle control. follow the air intake to the engine intake manifold. in that area you will find what is called a "throttle position sensor". it is activated be the postion of the "gas pedal" it work alittle like a reostat switch. not much you can do with it other than checking ohm redings at differnt positions or replaceing it. Good Luck

turn the key to the on position a see if you can here a buzzing sound around the fuel tank,if you don't hear a sound then. (be very careful while doing this) with the key off take a fuel line coming from the tank loose,make sure its pointed away from you and turn the key to the on position,see if any gas comes out,if not then your fuel pump is probably bad.

Hi! You must be frustrated by now! your code is marking that the O2 sensor is bad in bank 1. Did you replace the O2 sensor that is located  before the catalytic converter?  The S10 has an O2 sensor specially made for that cat. its about 30$ That would explain for your blackened spark plugs; your pc on the car is asking for more fuel. GOOD LUCK!!

Sounds like you need a fuel pump. If its the original with114,000 miles then replace it.

SOURCE: 93 gmc sierra 5.7 liter engine, injection carb,

you say you replaced the fuse, but does the fuse have power? the gray wire at pump should have power when cranking, or for 2 seconds when turning key on. At fuel pump relay, put power onto gray wire, the pump should run if the wiring is good. if it doenst run then ck for power at fuse while power is on gray wire.

Im driving an opel astra j essentia 1.6 2011 model,recently it started jerking or cutting petrol supply, i bought a new petrol pump the problem still persists please assist.

Jerking or cutting fuel supply? How did you determine that? This is most likely a sensor in the engine. Could be a fuel pump relay but it most likely is a crank shaft sensor.

What to do my car opel astra 1800 cde 2001 jerks while driving

Most common cause of jerking is a misfire but that would be likely to switch on the engine check light.

Certainly it would be a good idea to check if any faults had been recorded by the obd system and it would do no harm to check the spark plugs and replace if necessary and while the bonnet is open carry out a thorough visual inspection of the pipes, wires and cables and all electrical connections as a matter of good practice.

Without a more detailed description of the jerking it is difficult to make any other suggestions.

My 2007 Opel Astra 1.6 essentia has a miss at low revs. Approximately 1500RPM while driving it normally occurs. Mostly when slowing down to turn and the accelerator is released then on acceleration th

until you know exactly what it is then the answer is YES.. The biggest effect will be low economy and performance. Have a compression test done to check for head gasket and valve problems. These 2 will eventually require the head off and major work done if left too long. First step is to have the fault codes read as it may be a simple plug, HT lead of if individual coils , a faulty coil. Check the distributor cap if it has one for cracks and carbon tracks between the HT points . Check for dirt on the outside causing a short in the HT circuit.. Check for vacuum leaks (lean mixture hotter than normal temp). Check brake booster hoses and hoses to the inside vent controls. Remember the engine is trying to tell you that it is not well and like yourself if you do nothing it will get sicker and be very expensive to fix.

Burning oil

You either have a blown head gasket, or your valve seals are leaking. Is oil in your anti freeze? if so, its a head gasket issue. The only solution is to replace the head gasket and valve seals.
