Why does my car stop Jerking when I put the heat on high?

  • Jasmine Jun 24, 2016

    I've taken it to 3 mechanics and each one had a different answer. Either the type of gas being put in, the first cylinder is misfiring due to the engine coil or its a sensor. That's why I thought I would ask this question instead, but thanks anyways Steve Mason.

Year make and model helps. Newer cars the A/C controller is a computer. It is connected the all the others by data lines. When you put the blower on high, a relay switches directly to the battery(fused). The controller is no longer in play for the lower speeds. The controller can be scanned on newer vehicles. My first guess would be the controller is bad. But I check them out. Any computer on a vehicle that shorts out the data wire will affect all the other computers. If it is a dead short, the vehicle will not start and will not be able to read codes from any of them. The controller for the A/C is the buttons you push and knobs you turn.

    Your's isn't a computer. But you still need to find out why the blower control is affecting the engine. You'll need electrical schematics. I would find the power wire ( for the controller, not the blower) coming from the fuse panel. Cut it a few inches away from the fuse(in case you need to rewire it). Take the wire to the controller and hook it to a longer wire and run it to the battery. Start the car and turn on the blower, If the problem is gone, Your fuse panel is shorting out. If it still there, I would do the same for the blower fuse/wire. These are only two places the the controller can affect the engine.

    Just a question. When you say heat on high. Is that the heat turn all the way up or the blower at top speed. There are two different answers to those.

My 2008 dodge avenger jerks when i come to a stop any idea what it could be.?

Jerks coming to a stop as in engine jerks, or does it seem like the brakes are jerking. When you leave off the pedal does it stop jerking? If it does it is probably warped rotors. A lot of new cars have this problem, my theory is that the brake pads they are using are way too hard. They put way too much heat into the rotor and warp it. Of course the rotors are none too heavy either. I think it is all in an effort to reduce weight in the vehicle.

Hard to say without a visual inspection. Have them rechecked by the shop that did the install. You may need new rotors. The rotors may have been cut beyond discard allowance,

The jerking and hesitating is makingme nuts..Now

the jerking may be from the 3-4 spring in the valve body of the transmission. as for the shakes well it is a good chance that the rotors need be turned or just replaced. as you go through water when the brakes heat up it can cause warping in the rotors due to wear or just too thin. also check ball joints. Lincoln had recalls on the lower ball joints failing. its one piece and about 300.00
