Shuddering when taking off
I've had this frustrating problem with my 95 Civic (SOHC 1.6L PGM-FI
non-vtec D16 variant, manual). It sometimes shakes/shudders when taking off from a full stop. I could prevent the shuddering by stepping on the gas more. I've replaced plugs, wires, rotor, PCV, timing belt, fuel filter (all Honda parts), but sometimes the problem returns. When the timing belt was being replaced, I noticed that the rubber on the driver-side engine mount was cracked, about half-way through. Two different mechanics have told me that since the mount is relatively new, the crack couldn't cause the shaking, and that if it did, it would also shake at idle, which it doesn't. Is this true? Please enlighten me, if the cracked mount caused the shaking, wouldn't it shake all the time? Thanks! |

Thanks. Will have the clutch checked ASAP. |

Shuddering when taking off
My 93 Del Sol has done this since I got it three years ago. Careful clutch technique (slightly higher revs, slight slipping, NO burnouts) keeps it under control, but every so often, it gets a little worse. I don't plan to do anything about it until the clutch shows sign of failure.

My F20A had this, cause was a crack in distributor's induction
*coil's insulating lacquer. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...13sm40_f02.gif #18. 1 electrician said copper wire's lacquer, given too much heat, will crack then *'s high voltage will escape to -ve ground = no spark. Fitting * inside distributor is a design flaw ; beside lacquer's crack, * produces fewer amperes when hot ( proof : if 1 glues hsinks or use wires to cool distributor & * inside, sparks will be bigger, & exhaust noise will drop ). Better carry a spark plug, to chk for a spark, if engine stalls. |

TE: thanks, that's very interesting. I think it's another likely suspect, because the problem comes and goes. Also, the problem is worst after the ECU is reset, and smoothes out over time. Is there any way to check the induction coil? Can I repair it, and can you please explain more about adding a heatsink or "wire" to the distributor and induction coil?

The symptoms sound like the times I've had dirty injectors. A bottle of fuel injector cleaner (most people prefer Techron, but I've had as much luck with cheap cleaners like Pyroil) in the tank will make a difference within 100 miles and fix it entirely in 300 miles if that is the problem. Cheap and easy, it's worth a try. Mike |

Mike, thanks for the reply. I already tried putting in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner about a month ago. |
