1st time posting
I tried searching but found nothing that actually fixed the problem. I mostly found suggestions but most seem way wrong.
Its my wifes protege 5
Only when the car is warm we will get a bucking/ jerking at 3000 rpms when we are under acceleration. Once we get over 3000 rpms there are no problems. This happens in all gears right at 3000 rpms and when its warm. It feels like it just looses power for a split second and it could happen 1-3 times as we pull through and past 3000rpms
It started a month or so ago and seems to become a little more common.
Heres what I've done since
Changed plugs- didn't help
Replaced muffler- seems it happens more
Tried to find vaccuum leaks and I found none
Check codes and none showed up
Right now I'm having battery issues so I pulled the battery and I guess it will reset the computer.
Other people with the problem are always told to change the coil packs and that never seems to fix it
Any ideas?????
