stumbling in

hawxter996 · March 3rd, 2007, 07:07 PM

hello,

i was wondering if anyone here could help.

i have a 2000 3.8 manual trans.

when i start out from a stop sign or signal, i get a hesitation and stumble

when driving at normal road speeds there doesnt seem to be a problem.

just initial take off.

clutch problem or your just not letting off the clutch smoothly

hawxter996 · March 3rd, 2007, 07:19 PM

ooo, i guess i dont understand.. its stumbling forward like it wants to stall or what

hawxter996 · March 3rd, 2007, 07:22 PM

it has a hesitation sounds like 1 or 2 cylinders are not firing

chevy_killer · March 3rd, 2007, 08:32 PM

its not your clutch....as stated before its your driving.....that used to happen to me when i first started driving a standard...try giving it a little more gas...see if that doesnt fix your problem

hawxter996 · March 3rd, 2007, 08:37 PM

been driving this car since new.

this prob has just shown up recently.

as stated i have a check engine light also.

it is most certainly a misfire.

thanks guys

guess i better find a shop near me.

A misfire would be a flashing check engine light go to autozone and get the code for us.

hawxter996 · March 5th, 2007, 06:24 PM

hello gents

i ran codes today

p0411
p1414
p1116

saw nothing that would cause stumble i have.

maybe i need injector service,changed fuel filter seems to have gotten worse.

look through that at all your codes and see if it helps any.

hawxter996 · March 5th, 2007, 07:56 PM

thanks green,

i looked at codes,had sai prob before but it didnt cause this stumbling
i am having now.

replaced air pump before showed same codes,was seized from moisture.

will pull it again and check. but this stumbling happens when engine is warm and i notice it when in neutral also.

give it pedal and right off idle it stumbles ,when in gear you can feel it is not firing all cylinders.

once i hit about 2krpm it clears no other symptoms.

GreenFaleen · March 5th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Do you have any mods or are you pushing high hp?

Also how old is the clutch?

hawxter996 · March 5th, 2007, 08:09 PM

green,

it is all stock 90k mi.

original clutch, does it in neutral so i know it is not clutch.

it doesnt buck like clutch probs,it kinda just chugs along unit it
hits about 2k rpm. it is the initial throttle opening whether in gear or not
it stutters clears its throat then alls well.

if i mash the pedal it falls on its face then clears out around 2krpm.

small throttle opening same result .

ByPopularDemand · March 5th, 2007, 08:15 PM

plugs...wires??? cant overlook the small things

hawxter996 · March 5th, 2007, 08:21 PM

was gonna start this weekend with plugs and wires.

if that didnt clear it up, injector service is also on to do list.

just need to get this cleared up emissions test coming soon.

god i miss carbs!

thanks for replies

i would clean your maf out and iac for the hell of it. just be careful while servicing these parts. put some injector cleaner in your gas or just put it right in through the throttle body.

GreenFaleen · March 6th, 2007, 01:30 AM

Clean the MAF make sure nothing is in the airbox take apart the intake and clean it up nice. If it isn't the clutch sounds like the car is choking.

232stang · March 6th, 2007, 02:06 AM

maybe a new filter or just clean it

Ninjawafers! · March 6th, 2007, 02:33 AM

i had a similar problem and it turned out to be my air filter... i gleaned it out and it worked fine after

232stang · March 6th, 2007, 02:45 AM
