I have a 2003 Honda Civic and is jerking when I accelerate suddenly

I took the car to the auto repair shop a few weeks ago due to an oil leak. While repairing the leak they found that I needed a new timing belt, driving belt, and front motor mounts. I replaces all of it but now I've noticed that when I accelerate suddenly like trying to get on to the high, it slows down and jerks.

Most repairs are covered by AT LEAST A 90 DAY WARRANTY. Get that car back in there and tell them it's been having issues since you took it back from them. Ask them what they are prepared to do for you before you get legal help. That should get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Check your wires, plugs and coils. I think it is an ignition problem myself. Something is breaking down under a load. My guess would be a bad coil or wire, the hard starting could be a symtem of this also, As I first read your description I was thinking maybe a leaking fuel injector or faulty fuel injector, but I believe it is in the ignition system. I hope this Helps! Merry Christmas!

SOURCE: Coolant leaking into engine Compartment

Most likely it's the heater coil leaking inside the car. This is located inside the heater/AC unit up under the dash. This is where the heat comes from when the heater is on.

SOURCE: overheating after timing belt change

Hi

If you took the car into this Garage , for just the timing belt, and then after there repair, you developed the overheating, then the problem should lie with them.

Did the car ever overheat before you took it too them ?

If not, go back and ask to see the Service Manager, and give him your grievance, that if they do not fix it, you will sue !

Good Luck !

P.S. Don´t forget to give me a rating please !

John.

97 civic ex auto with 40k miles. Under slow acceleration, upshifts are 'lazy' with engine speeding up for a few 'moments' before shift is completed. More brisk acceleration delivers better or normal...

A '97 with only 40k ? Wow ! Sounds like a transmission issue. I would begin with changing the transmission fluid and filter. If that didn't work, I'd take it to a transmission shop because there isn't much you can do on your own with a transmission due to their inherent complexity.

Sounds like a blown coolant hose, or a faulty coolant water pump.
