car jerking slightly on acceleration
I've got a '94 Civic coupe si... over 266K km... and last 2 days or so when I accelerate the car kinda jerks a bit (like I'm running out of gas or something) (I don't get the engine light on though)... could this be O2 sensor or one of the other sensors?
I'm gonna drop by Honda early morning to get see what they say. What would they normally do to check this?
Thnx

I took it to Honda this morning... they've said my Slave & Master Clutch Cylinder are leaking and need to be replaced. Cost is $400 all in.
Then I was told my CV boots need to be changed... does $188 per boot sound right? Last time I got this done it was a little less... guess prices/labour went up.
Only good thing is the above prices will include tax after asking the service rep to give me a deal... but still a heafty amount. Since this is my only car and I can't afford to get anything else any time in the near future I'm investing in repairs to keep it running for a long time (knock on wood).
Thnx

i know what you mean... that's installed and since i don't have the skills to do that i gotta get them to do it.
the parts aren't much it's the labour.
it'd be nice to have a shop catered to Honda's that didn't rip people who can't do this stuff themselves off... and that was open reasonable hours... i know a shop but it's impossible to get service there since they're busy / have only Mon-Fri business hours.

All this can usually be done for a lot cheaper, but like you said if you don't know how...you're screwed. Also, you didn't say your rpms fluctuate under acceleration....you said it feels like its running out of gas... Hahaha...I give up on this online mechanics stuff
