Chevrolet Aveo jerks at low speeds


Ignition system

The most common cause of a jerking Chevrolet Cruze is misfires due to faulty spark plugs. To eliminate the damage, you need to replace them with new ones.

Electrode color Possible malfunctions Black and fluffy Over-rich air-fuel mixture Problems with the air filter Whitish Over-lean air-fuel mixture Yellow, red-brown Unsuitable additives in the oil Black tarry Irregular spark Low compression If replacing the set of spark plugs did not help, the fault may be hidden in the ignition module. To diagnose a malfunction, it is necessary to check the coils and high-voltage wires. If a defective element is detected, it must be replaced.

Filters

Negligence in carrying out maintenance can also be the reason why traction is lost and the car begins to twitch. The oil filter gets clogged most often. The lack of normal lubricant circulation in the circuit leads to excessive forces in the friction units.

Scores appear on the surfaces, the engine stops working stably and the Chevrolet Cruze begins to twitch. To eliminate the problem, you need to replace the filter and oil. If excessive wear occurs, it is necessary to completely disassemble the power plant and troubleshoot the main elements. A clogged fuel filter may be the cause of the car jerking at speed and during acceleration. The lack of normal pressure in the fuel line leads to an unstable supply of fuel to the injectors. Therefore, the engine operates normally at low speeds, but when a load appears, it begins to fail. To eliminate the problem, you need to remove the fuel filter and clean it.

The reason why the car jerks may be hidden in a clogged air filter. This malfunction usually occurs gradually. The engine stops receiving the normal composition of the air-fuel mixture. As a result, its power drops and the car jerks during acceleration. To fix the problem, you need to remove the old filter element and replace it with a new one.

Why does the Chevrolet Lacetti injector twitch during acceleration?

Drivers often encounter a problem when the Chevrolet Lacetti begins to twitch during acceleration. What is this connected with? The reason that unites all the factors remains the wrong gasoline mixture or its poor quality.

Unsuccessful modernization by the car owner

The most common reason why a car jerks after modernization is chip tuning.

Incorrect reconfiguration of the engine control unit leads to the fact that the vehicle’s power plant stops working stably. This in turn causes the Chevrolet Cruze to jerk. To eliminate the malfunction, you need to return everything to factory settings or contact a tuning studio to properly reconfigure the engine ECU.

In the most difficult cases, the twitching is caused by replacing standard elements of the power plant with stock ones. This type of tuning is most often resorted to by owners of a Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.6-liter engine. In this case, it is necessary to replace non-native elements with branded ones.

The abbreviation VTEC fully stands for: Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control.
Translated into Russian it means “an electronic system for controlling the opening time and valve lift height” or, in the language of specialists, an electronic system for adjusting valve timing. This mechanism is designed to optimize the passage of the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chambers. An internal combustion engine converts chemical energy stored in fuel into heat. This transformation occurs during the combustion of the combustible mixture. This increases the temperature and pressure in the cylinder. Under pressure, the engine pistons move down and, pushing the crankshaft, set it in motion. This is how chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion. Mechanical force is determined by the magnitude of the torque. The ability of an engine to maintain a certain amount of torque at a certain number of revolutions per minute is defined as power. Power determines how much work an engine can produce. The entire process carried out by an internal combustion engine is not 100% efficient. In fact, only about 30% of the energy contained in the fuel is converted into mechanical energy.

Theoretical physics suggests that for a given efficiency, to achieve high performance from the engine, it is necessary to use more fuel: as a result, power will increase significantly. Obviously, in this case it is necessary to use an engine with a huge displacement and sacrifice the principles of efficiency. Another method requires pre-compressing the fuel mixture through a turbine and then burning it in small cylinders. However, even in this case, fuel consumption will be frightening. At one time, the Honda concern took a different path, starting research to optimize the operation of the internal combustion engine. The result is VTEC technology, which gives the engine excellent efficiency at low speeds and high power when revving up.

Two algorithms

If you compare the speed characteristics of different engines, it is easy to notice that in some the maximum torque is achieved at low speeds (in the range of 1800-3000 rpm), in others - at higher speeds (in the range of 3000-4500 rpm). It turns out that there is a relationship between the way the cams that open the valves are installed on the camshaft and the power the engine develops at different crankshaft speeds. To understand what causes this, imagine an engine running extremely slowly. For example, at 10-20 rpm, the working cycle in one cylinder takes 1 second. As the piston descends, the intake valve opens, allowing fuel to fill the cylinder, and closes when the piston reaches bottom dead center. Once the combustion cycle is complete, the piston will begin to move upward. This will open the exhaust valve, allowing exhaust gases to leave the cylinder displacement, and close when the piston reaches top dead center. Such an algorithm would be ideal if the engine operated at a minimum speed. However, in real life the engine is much more energetic.

As the rhythm of the motor increases, the described algorithm simply does not stand up to criticism. If the crankshaft speed reaches 4000 per minute, the valves open and close 2000 times every minute, or 30-40 times every second. At this speed, it is extremely difficult for the piston to suck the required volume of the combustible mixture into the cylinder. That is, as a result of inlet resistance, pumping losses occur, and this is the main reason why engine efficiency decreases. To ease the fate of the engine when operating at high speeds, it is necessary, for example, to open the intake valve wider. Of course, this is a simplified job description, but it gives the general idea. However, at low speeds this algorithm is not suitable: setting the camshaft “for speed” will only increase fuel consumption. Therefore, for better efficiency it is necessary to combine both operating algorithms, which are embodied in the VTEC mechanism.

Introduced in 1989, the VTEC system has been modernized twice, and today we are dealing with its third series. The VTEC system uses the capabilities of electronics and mechanics and allows the engine to effectively manage the capabilities of two camshafts at once, or, in simplified versions, one. By monitoring the speed and operating ranges of the power unit, its computer can activate additional cams in order to select the best operating mode.

DOHC VTEC

In 1989, two modifications of the Honda Integra entered the domestic Japanese market - RSi and XSi, which used the first engine with a DOHC VTEC system. Its power unit, model B16A, with a volume of 1.6 liters, reached a power of 160 hp, but at the same time was distinguished by good low-end traction, fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. Fans of the Honda brand still remember and appreciate this magnificent engine, especially since its many times improved version is still used on Civic models.

The DOHC VTEC engine has two camshafts (one for the intake valves, the other for the exhaust valves) and 4 valves per cylinder. Each pair of valves has a special design - a group of three cams. Therefore, if we are dealing with a 4-cylinder 16-valve engine with two camshafts, then there will be 8 such groups. Each group is dedicated to a separate pair of valves. Two cams are located on the outer sides of the group and are responsible for the action of the valves at low speeds, and the middle one is connected at high speeds. The outer cams are in direct contact with the valves: they are lowered using rocker arms (rockers). A separate middle cam rotates for the time being and idle presses its rocker arm, which is activated when a certain high number of crankshaft revolutions is reached. This central part is subsequently responsible for opening and closing the valves, although it acts as a special intermediate mechanism.

When the engine is running at low speed, the pairs of intake and exhaust valves are opened by their respective cams. Their shape, like that of most similar motors, is made in the form of an ellipse. However, these cams are only capable of providing economical engine operation and only at low speeds. When a high camshaft rotation speed is reached, a special mechanism is activated. The middle cam, previously “unoccupied” with work, rotated and without any effect pressed the middle rocker arm, which was in no way connected with the valves. However, all three rocker arms have holes into which a metal rod is driven under high oil pressure. Thus, the group is firmly fixed and subsequently works as one whole. Here the middle cam, which had been resting before, comes into operation. It has a more elongated shape and therefore, when pressed, all three rocker arms, and therefore the valves, drop much lower and remain open for a longer period of time. In this case, the engine can “breathe” more freely, develop and maintain high torque and good power.

SOHC VTEC

After the success of the DOHC VTEC system, Honda approached the development and use of its innovation with even greater zeal. Motors with VTEC have proven to be reliable and economical, and have become a real alternative to increasing the displacement or using turbines. Therefore, the SOHC VTEC system was introduced somewhat later. Like its “colleague” DOHC, the new product was also intended to optimize engine operation in different modes. But due to the simplicity of their design and more modest power ratings, SOHC VTEC engines were produced in smaller volumes. One of the first engines using the simplified system was the updated D15B unit, which produced 130 hp. with a volume of 1.5 liters. This engine has been installed on the Honda Civic since 1991.

The SOHC engine has a single camshaft for the entire cylinder block. Therefore, the cams of the intake and exhaust valves are located on the same axis. However, there are also groups of three, each of which has one special central cam. The simplicity of the design lies in the fact that only the intake valves can operate in two modes - for low and high speeds. An intermediate mechanism with an additional cam and rocker arm, as in the case of DOHC VTEC, takes over the opening and closing of the intake valves, while the exhaust valves always operate in a constant mode.

It may seem that SOHC VTEC is somehow worse than DOHC VTEC. However, this is not so: this system has a number of advantages, including simplicity of design, compactness of the engine due to its small width, and lower weight. In addition, SOHC VTEC can be quite easily used on engines of the previous generation, thereby modernizing them. As a result, power units with SOHC VTEC achieve the same results, albeit not as bright and surprising.

SOHC VTEC-E

If the purpose of the VTEC systems described above is to combine maximum power at maximum speed and fairly confident but economical operation at the bottom, then VTEC-E is designed to help the engine achieve maximum economy.

But before considering the next Honda invention, it is necessary to understand the theory. It is known that fuel is pre-mixed with air and then ignited in the cylinders (there is another option - direct injection, in which air and fuel enter the cylinders separately). Engine power is also affected by how homogeneous the mixture is. The fact is that at low speeds, the low suction flow rate prevents the mixing of fuel and air. As a result, the engine may run rough at idle. To prevent this, a fuel-rich mixture enters the cylinders, which affects efficiency. The VTEC-E system is capable of ensuring reliable engine operation at low speeds on a fuel-lean mixture. This also results in significant savings. Unlike other mechanisms, the VTEC-E system does not have any additional cams. Since this technology is aimed at reducing fuel consumption at low speeds, it also affects the operation of the intake valves. VTEC-E is only used in SOHC (single overhead cam) engines with four valves per cylinder due to its low fuel consumption tendencies.

Unlike other VTEC engines, where the cams have approximately the same profile, VTEC-E powertrains use two configurations. Thus, the intake valves are driven by cams of various shapes. The profile of one of them has a traditional shape, while the other is almost round - slightly oval. Therefore, one of the valves drops normally, while the other barely opens. The combustible mixture passes through a normal valve easily, but through a slightly open one - very sparingly. Due to the asymmetrical flow of the incoming mixture, bizarre turbulence occurs in the cylinder, in which air and fuel mix properly. As a result, the engine may run on a lean mixture. As the speed increases, the fuel concentration increases, but the mode in which only one valve actually works becomes a hindrance. Therefore, at approximately 2500 rpm, the rocker arms are closed and driven by a normal cam. The short circuit occurs in the same way as in other VTEC systems.

The VTEC-E system is often unfairly considered an invention aimed solely at saving money. However, compared to simple motors, units with such a mechanism are not only more economical, but also more powerful. The first mode, in which one valve operates, is responsible for economy, and the “purebred” VTEC, which implies a wide opening of the intake valves, is responsible for power indicators. If we compare two similar engines, one of which is equipped with a VTEC-E mechanism, then a simple unit will turn out to be 6-9% weaker and more voracious.

Tri-mode SOHC VTEC

This mechanism is a combination of the SOHC VTEC and SOHC VTEC-E systems. Unlike all the systems described above, this one has not two operating modes, but three. In the low speed zone, the system provides economical engine operation with a lean air-fuel mixture (like VTEC-E). In this case, only one of the intake valves is used. At medium speeds, the second valve comes into operation, but the valve timing and valve lift do not change. The engine in this case produces high torque. At high speeds, both valves are controlled by one central cam, which is responsible for extracting maximum power from the engine. This system is quite universal. For example, a 1.5-liter engine with such a gas distribution mechanism exhibits good specific power: 86 hp. for 1 l. working volume. At the same time, if the engine operates in the first, economical 12-valve mode, consumption when driving at a constant speed of 60 km/h in a Honda Civic is about 3.5 liters per 100 km.

i-VTEC

The letter “i” in the name means intelligent, that is, “smart.” Previous versions of VTEC are capable of adjusting the degree of valve opening only in 2-3 modes. The design of the new i-VTEC gas distribution mechanism involves the use, in addition to the main VTEC system, of an additional VTC (Variable Timing Control) system, which continuously regulates the moment at which the intake valves begin to open. The opening of the intake valves is set depending on the engine load and is adjusted by changing the angle of the intake camshaft relative to the exhaust. In engines with i-VTEC, the camshaft is attached to the drive pulley through a special gear nut, which can “turn” it up to an angle of up to 60°

The use of the VTC system along with VTEC makes it possible to more efficiently fill the engine cylinders with the fuel-air mixture, as well as improve the completeness of its combustion. The use of the i-VTEC mechanism allows achieving throttle response equivalent to engines with a displacement of 2 liters, while fuel efficiency is even better than that of a 1.6 liter engine.

The VTEC family of gas distribution mechanisms is nothing magical, but the effect is simply amazing. Honda engines really know how to adapt to the load, providing amazing power with a modest displacement. And at the same time, at idle and low speed, Japanese engines amaze with their outstanding efficiency. It is possible that the next step in the development of VTEC systems will be a mechanism with separate solenoids for each valve, which will allow the opening of the valves to be adjusted with surgical precision.

Clutch

A sporty driving style causes excessive clutch wear. The problem is especially pressing for cars with a 1.8 liter power unit.

The result is vibration and jerking when starting off, as well as at speed. The amplitude and intensity of the jerks may vary depending on the speed. To eliminate the malfunction, the clutch basket assembly is usually replaced.

Transmission

In cars with a manual transmission, it is rare that the cause of the car jerking is due to the manual transmission. This situation is only possible because the box is excessively worn. Most often jerking occurs in first gear.

An automatic is less reliable than a manual. Damage to the friction packs and torque converter leads to vibrations and jerking during acceleration. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to diagnose the gearbox and replace failed elements. Very often, car owners resort to purchasing a contract automatic transmission.

The operation of an automatic gearbox directly depends on the oil. In the system, it not only plays a lubricating role, but also transmits force. Therefore, untimely replacement of it causes the machine to not operate normally and the car begins to twitch. In most cases, it is impossible to solve the problem with a simple replacement; disassembling the automatic transmission and flushing the system is required.

It also wouldn't hurt to connect a scanner and check for errors. Kherson, Skoda Octavia Based on your description, it can be assumed that there was a problem in the high-voltage part of the ignition system, since the indicated replacements improved the situation.

Conclusion

Eliminating the cause of the Kia Rio jerking during acceleration is quite difficult. Many car enthusiasts are unable to fix the problem and immediately turn to a car service center. The article discussed the main methods for troubleshooting, but there are times when the cause lies in the most unexpected place. Yes, from.

Not long ago I began to notice that when accelerating, I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but the car somehow began to pick up speed not smoothly, but with some small jerks (jogs)

One possibility is that the filter on the fuel pump suction is clogged. . At one time I had such nonsense in a VAZ car - for 75t.

km. Jerking began when accelerating and there was a noticeable decrease in power at high speeds. It turned out that the filter on the pump suction was completely clogged.

. i.e.

If the filter at the inlet of the fuel pump becomes clogged, then jerks occur just during sharp acceleration, due to the fact that there simply is “not enough gasoline,” but with smooth acceleration it is almost normal, in this case the situation is the opposite for the vehicle. Looks more like a remote control. By the way, warming is still indirectly related.

, in the cold they often heat up longer and, mainly, at idle, and by the time it warms up, the remote control is already clogged.

jerks occur just during sharp acceleration, due to the fact that there is simply “not enough gas”, but with smooth acceleration it is almost normal

Well, I experienced jerks during smooth acceleration... when I pressed the gas pedal sharply, by the way, there may not be jerks (only dulling) for the following reason - the controller sees a rapid change in the readings of the throttle position sensor and forcibly re-enriches the mixture (increases the opening time injectors) to avoid loss of power - similar to the accelerator pump in a carburetor. The reasons may, of course, be different. The filter is one of the possible options that 100% cannot be excluded, I think.

There may be no twitching (only dulling) for the following reason - the controller sees a rapid change in the readings of the throttle position sensor and forcibly re-enriches the mixture (increases the opening time of the injectors) in order to avoid a loss of power - similar to the accelerator pump in a carburetor

In this case, there is nothing to re-enrich it with! ! !

there is no gasoline pressure, it does not flow in the required quantity through a clogged filter! Well, in the early stages of a clogged filter mesh, there may be something that simply dulls it.

But here the vehicle already has jerks, and with a smooth opening of the throttle and average flow rate, and with maximum throttle and, accordingly, high flow rate, it drives normally. Accordingly, the grid is out of business.

And now the roads have become cleaner! I’ve already gotten used to the car! And I noticed one crap: when accelerating sharply (sneakers halfway to the floor or higher), short-term twitching (dips) appear. + as I wrote earlier, increased fuel consumption! The car starts normally, so to speak, with half a turn! I looked at the spark plugs, the inside is clean, no complaints, but there is a corona on the insulator 2.5 mm high on all four spark plugs. After googling I found information on the spark plugs that it was either a leak in the spark plug itself or something with the wires! For now, I decided to do it for myself in this order (as As soon as the ODB adapter arrives, I’ll check for errors): 1-replacing spark plugs 2-checking wires, 3-replacing the fuel filter 4-checking the throttle position sensor 5-checking the mass air flow sensor 6-cleaning the injectors Is my reasoning correct or is it better to pay attention to immediately?

Z.Y. I also noticed that when the ignition is turned off, the fuel level arrow still shows how much fuel there is!

As I understand it, it should fall to zero? or not?

Z.Z.Y.

Quietly I’m starting to understand that there’s something wrong with the wiring, I couldn’t find the K-line (then it didn’t work for no reason, but now it’s gone again) now the fuel sensor and there was recently a glitch that turned off the ignition, pulled out the key and the windows still closed - open the window! I’m thinking about it and didn’t make a mistake when installing the alarm system. Is this possible?

Mileage: 35800 km

Hi all! Tell me, has anyone encountered this problem? 1.4 manual car jerks in first and second gear when you smoothly press the accelerator pedal up to 1.5 thousand rpm, especially noticeable in traffic jams when you press it, then release it, then press it smoothly again (driving in traffic jams is very difficult I have to squeeze the clutch one more time) then there are no problems, it accelerates perfectly! I can’t understand what the problem was with the OD. After the diagnostics they didn’t find anything, after the maintenance they also said everything was fine! Thank you!!!

A similar problem appeared on 85 thousand. Too many things fall under this symptom. Starting from the spark plugs (at the inspection they said the spark plugs were in perfect order. I have iridium ones, the mileage on them is 50k) and to the damaged engine mounts (also fine), the clutch (at 60k they changed the release valve under warranty and at the same time I gave up the clutch on the Valeo, because . the original buzzed in reverse gear), the master cylinder (also changed under warranty somewhere around 60k). There is also a suspicion of chain stretching, because... also gives the same symptom. When the chain is stretched, there should be increased noise, I feel like the engine has become noisier. Yes, and for Solaris, even TSB was due to increased chain stretch, but on the Kia there is no (In general, my main suspicion so far is the chain. But the warranty has already expired, it’s damn expensive to go there. In general, I’ll still ride it up to 10k and we’ll look at 100k, at the same time Check valve clearances.

Everyone says they checked the spark plugs! But as? Have you looked at the outside? Have you measured the gap? What about internal breakdown? With our gasolines..., in general, I was in for maintenance recently, according to the new requirements of Hyundai/Kia from 2015-2016, replacement of spark plugs on cars operated in Russia is carried out after 30,000 km or 2 years. It’s possible that the OD is a scam, but they say that there were a lot of complaints about this when replacing it once every 4 years or 60,000 km. Yes, the maintenance technician looked at it externally and checked the gap, and said it was still good! I would change them at 15 thousand)))

The same garbage on the 1st. Rev up and go forward.

The mileage is already approximately 35,000, it also started twitching at 10-15 thousand.

Nothing will help you. The topic periodically pops up and then goes out again. The problem is with the electronic gas pedal.

But the dealer does not recognize this as a problem. . .

that's how it should be. I once posted a video about the impossibility of smoothly accelerating up to 2000 rpm.

They say that the chip from Paulus slightly smoothes out this garbage. But in his topic, chipmakers also do not give an exact answer that they have overcome the problem.

Why does a dip appear when you press the gas pedal sharply?

It is worth considering that if there are problems with the wires and spark plugs, there is a very high probability of damage to the ignition coil from exceeding the breakdown voltage. It is advisable to take an oscillogram or test replace the coil. Moscow, Chrysler Voyager Mileage km.

Yesterday everything was fine, the car worked great, today it was freezing. The Chevrolet Cruz started to fail when accelerating, but at first it started up.

Then it seemed to work normally at idle. But when accelerating, especially when starting off, there are dips.

By what signs can you determine that the engine is leaking?

Triple means that there is a problem with the engine, in which three cylinders are functioning normally, but the fourth one has malfunctioned. The fact that the engine is tripping can be determined by the following signs:

  • At idle, the engine trembles and twitches constantly or periodically. Sometimes the shaking can get worse and the vibration can reach the steering wheel and gear lever, indicating a complete failure of one or more cylinders.
  • Engine power has decreased. This affects increasing fuel consumption, frequent failures when pressing the gas and sudden shocks during acceleration.
  • The “heartbeat” of the engine gets lost at idle, the sound either increases or decreases. Fluctuations in speed can be small (850-1000 rpm) or quite significant (from 850 to 1500 rpm).
  • The exhaust produces sound jerks and pops instead of a smooth rumble.

Usually, when the engine stalls, you can notice several of the above signs at once, and the “Check engine” light also lights up. To clarify the error code, you need to contact a car repair shop, where they can decipher the fault data using a special diagnostic scanner, but you can also purchase such a device yourself.

Why does the Chevrolet Cruze jerk?

During the day the check light came on. I was undergoing diagnostics. Incorrect reconfiguration of the engine control unit leads to the fact that the vehicle’s power plant stops working stably.

This in turn causes the Chevrolet Cruze to jerk. To eliminate the malfunction, you need to return everything to factory settings or contact a tuning studio to properly reconfigure the engine ECU. In the most difficult cases, the twitching is caused by replacing standard elements of the power plant with stock ones. This type of tuning is most often resorted to by owners of a Chevrolet Cruze with a 1 engine. In this case, it is necessary to replace non-original elements with branded ones. Clutch A sporty driving style causes excessive wear on the clutch.

The problem is especially pressing for cars with a power unit of 1. As a result, vibration and jerking appear when starting from a stop, as well as at speed. The amplitude and intensity of the jerks may vary depending on the speed.

To eliminate the malfunction, the clutch basket assembly is usually replaced. Gearbox In cars with a manual transmission, failures during acceleration of the Chevrolet Cruze are rarely caused by the jerking of the car due to the manual transmission.

This situation is only possible because the box is excessively worn. Most often jerking occurs in first gear. The automatic failures during acceleration of the Chevrolet Cruze are reliable compared to the manual ones.

Damage to the friction packs and torque converter leads to vibrations and jerking during acceleration. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to diagnose the gearbox and replace failed elements.

Very often, car owners resort to purchasing a contract automatic transmission. The operation of an automatic gearbox directly depends on the oil. In the system, it not only plays a lubricating role, but also transmits force.

Therefore, untimely replacement of it causes the machine to not operate normally and the car begins to twitch. In most cases, it is impossible to solve the problem with a simple replacement; disassembling the automatic transmission and flushing the system is required.

I had: Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6, Alfa Power, Sedan, manual transmission, BC RI-500. Sold. Thanked 174 times in 160 messages Did I do the right thing and the reason may be something else, someone tell me thanks!!!

Jerking during acceleration, with stable operation at low speeds, most often occurs due to lack of fuel. And a lack of fuel most often occurs due to a clogged fuel filter or fuel intake screen. Much less often due to a faulty fuel pump.

So I did everything right. The injectors could not be washed, but this would not make it worse.

I have: Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6 station wagon, manual transmission Thanked 0 times in 0 messagesGentlemen, my problem is similar, but slightly different. The car begins to slow down (as if a brake parachute is opening from behind) at a speed of 120-130 km/h. Periodically it starts to accelerate, and then after 30 seconds it slows down again (5th gear, gas to the floor, rpm about 3500-4000). Before and after such “overshoots” throughout the entire rev range in lower gears there are no such problems. Sometimes even in 5th it happens to drive 140-150 without it. I changed the spark plugs, explosive wires, gas station, gasoline to 95, poured injector and valve cleaner into the tank - it doesn’t help. The check does not light up.
I would be grateful for your advice.

The resulting jerking of the Chevrolet Cruze car worsens the safety and comfort of driving. The appearance of jerks can indicate both a serious malfunction and an easily repairable breakdown. You should not delay identifying the problem, as this can lead to excessive wear and tear on the main components of the car.

Elimination methods

In order to eliminate the car jerking during acceleration, you will have to check each of the following systems step by step. Thus, a lot of work will need to be done. Therefore, some knowledge of engine design and other automotive systems will be required. So, let's consider the sequence of nodes in which a malfunction could occur that caused such an effect.

Poor fuel quality

As you know, there are too many fakes on the modern petroleum products market. But this is not the worst thing, but the impurities and water contained in gasoline can lead to disruption of the engine, namely the fuel supply and injection system. Of course, at a gas station it is impossible to check the quality of gasoline that enters the fuel tank. So, even at proven and reliable gas stations you can run into low-quality fuel. The only way to protect yourself is regular diagnostics of systems. It is better to pay several times for inspection than once for repairs.

Fuel system

As mentioned above, low-quality fuel causes clogging of the injection system. So, the fuel filter, gasoline pump or injectors may fail. Often, it is the latter malfunction that causes the car to begin to jerk when accelerating. Eliminating the cause is quite easy; to do this, you need to diagnose the fuel pump and replace the fuel filter. It is also recommended to clean the injectors or replace those that are faulty.

Mass air flow sensor and throttle

The DMVR and the throttle valve are inextricably linked, so diagnosing the condition of these elements should be carried out by everyone together. So, if necessary, it is worth replacing the mass air flow sensor or cleaning the throttle. This may help, but not always.

Ignition

Experience shows that an acceleration problem may be hidden in the ignition system. In order to correct the malfunction, it is worth diagnosing the spark plugs and high-voltage wires, where the problem may lie. For the first, you need to unscrew them from the block and look for the presence of carbon deposits or oil. If necessary, replace the spark plugs, first setting the gaps using a special feeler gauge.

High-voltage wires should be checked for breakdowns or damage to the ignition. So, for diagnostics, a tester is used that checks the resistance of each wire. If it is discovered that one BB wire has failed, it must be replaced. The manufacturer recommends replacing all wires in one set, having first checked them with a multimeter.

ECU errors

Often, as practice shows, failures during acceleration can appear if errors have accumulated in the electronic engine control unit. So, to fix the problem you will need to reset all the errors that have accumulated. If this does not help, then you should change the firmware. This type of problem elimination only works when all other causes have been eliminated, but the effect remains.

Ignition system

The most common cause of a jerking Chevrolet Cruze is misfires due to faulty spark plugs. To eliminate the damage, you need to replace them with new ones.

Electrode colorPossible faults
Black and furryOver-rich air-fuel mixture
Problems with the air filter.
WhitishLean air-fuel mixture
Yellow, red-brownUnsuitable additives in oil
Black resinousIrregular spark
Low compression. If replacing a set of spark plugs does not help, the fault may be hidden in the ignition module. To diagnose a malfunction, it is necessary to check the coils and high-voltage wires. If a defective element is detected, it must be replaced.

Injectors

The absence of a normal spray torch causes unstable operation of the power plant. As a result, the car jerks both when starting and accelerating.

To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to flush the injectors to remove deposits that have formed due to the presence of resins in gasoline. If cleaning does not help and the spray pattern does not become normal, then the faulty nozzle must be replaced.

Filters

Negligence in carrying out maintenance can also be the reason why traction is lost and the car begins to twitch. The oil filter gets clogged most often. The lack of normal lubricant circulation in the circuit leads to excessive forces in the friction units.

Scores appear on the surfaces, the engine stops working stably and the Chevrolet Cruze begins to twitch. To eliminate the problem, you need to replace the filter and oil. If excessive wear occurs, it is necessary to completely disassemble the power plant and troubleshoot the main elements. A clogged fuel filter may be the cause of the car jerking at speed and during acceleration. The lack of normal pressure in the fuel line leads to an unstable supply of fuel to the injectors. Therefore, the engine operates normally at low speeds, but when a load appears, it begins to fail. To eliminate the problem, you need to remove the fuel filter and clean it.

The reason why the car jerks may be hidden in a clogged air filter. This malfunction usually occurs gradually. The engine stops receiving the normal composition of the air-fuel mixture. As a result, its power drops and the car jerks during acceleration. To fix the problem, you need to remove the old filter element and replace it with a new one.

Unsuccessful modernization by the car owner

The most common reason why a car jerks after modernization is chip tuning.

Incorrect reconfiguration of the engine control unit leads to the fact that the vehicle’s power plant stops working stably. This in turn causes the Chevrolet Cruze to jerk. To eliminate the malfunction, you need to return everything to factory settings or contact a tuning studio to properly reconfigure the engine ECU.

In the most difficult cases, the twitching is caused by replacing standard elements of the power plant with stock ones. This type of tuning is most often resorted to by owners of a Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.6-liter engine. In this case, it is necessary to replace non-native elements with branded ones.

Poor fuel quality

As you know, there are too many fakes on the modern petroleum products market. But this is not the worst thing, but the impurities and water contained in gasoline can lead to disruption of the engine, namely the fuel supply and injection system. Of course, at a gas station it is impossible to check the quality of gasoline that enters the fuel tank. So, even at proven and reliable gas stations you can run into low-quality fuel. The only way to protect yourself is regular diagnostics of systems. It is better to pay several times for inspection than once for repairs.

Clutch

A sporty driving style causes excessive clutch wear. The problem is especially pressing for cars with a 1.8 liter power unit.

The result is vibration and jerking when starting off, as well as at speed. The amplitude and intensity of the jerks may vary depending on the speed. To eliminate the malfunction, the clutch basket assembly is usually replaced.

Transmission

In cars with a manual transmission, it is rare that the cause of the car jerking is due to the manual transmission. This situation is only possible because the box is excessively worn. Most often jerking occurs in first gear.

An automatic is less reliable than a manual. Damage to the friction packs and torque converter leads to vibrations and jerking during acceleration. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to diagnose the gearbox and replace failed elements. Very often, car owners resort to purchasing a contract automatic transmission.

The operation of an automatic gearbox directly depends on the oil. In the system, it not only plays a lubricating role, but also transmits force. Therefore, untimely replacement of it causes the machine to not operate normally and the car begins to twitch. In most cases, it is impossible to solve the problem with a simple replacement; disassembling the automatic transmission and flushing the system is required.

Causes of jerking and vibration when starting off

In most cases, the cause of the breakdown is a malfunctioning clutch.

Correct diagnostics saves time and money, so do not rush to immediately begin repairing the clutch and replacing failed parts. First, use simple tips to eliminate malfunctions that may be associated with the fact that the car jerks when starting to move.

First, warm up the engine to operating temperature. Secondly, make sure there are no problems with the power and ignition system.

If after the work done the jerking when starting does not go away, then use the list of clutch malfunctions and methods for eliminating them below.

Deformation of the driven disk.

Replace the driven disk.

Jamming of the driven disk hub on the splines of the input shaft of the gearbox.

Clean the splines from dirt, remove minor damage with a file. If the splines are significantly worn or damaged, replace the transmission disc and/or input shaft. Before assembly, apply CV joint grease to the splines.

Significant settlement or breakage of torsional vibration damper springs, wear of windows for springs.

Replace the driven disk.

Seizures on the working surfaces of the flywheel or pressure plate.

Replace the flywheel or clutch housing with pressure plate assembly (“clutch basket”).

Loose fastening of the friction linings of the driven disc, severe wear or cracks on the linings.

Replace the driven disk.

Loss of elasticity of the spring plates of the driven disk.

Replace the driven disk.

You need to start with the obvious things. If you are an experienced driver, then you yourself understand perfectly well that the car can jerk when starting from a stop if the clutch grabs sharply. That is, if you release the clutch pedal sharply, then it is quite obvious that the car should move jerkily. In this case there is no malfunction, and this situation is quite normal. All you need to do is change your riding style. At a minimum, you need to release the clutch smoothly and add more gas. It will come with time. In order for the clutch discs to engage on time, you need to “feel” for the moment of engagement in your car. To do this, you need to engage first gear and try to move away without pressing the gas pedal. This way you can easily feel the moment the clutch discs engage.

This cannot happen in cars with automatic transmissions, because there is no clutch pedal. In such cars, you just need to smoothly press the gas pedal and not “rip” the car from its place.

External and internal CV joints

The next reason why the car jerks when starting off may be the inner and outer CV joints. Internal CV joints transmit forces from the box to the car's axle shafts, and then to the wheels, which makes them quite important elements in the suspension system. Considering that these parts are systematically subjected to heavy loads, they may fail. The presence of a malfunction can be determined by the following signs: The CV joint turns when starting to move, there is play. Because of this, the car may jerk when starting from a stop. On the road, the CV joint may knock. Moreover, the road can be perfectly smooth. When turning, you can hear the crunch of the outer CV joints; when they wear out, they can also turn and create jerks when the car starts moving. Outer CV joints most often fail due to driving on bad and uneven roads. It follows that the first malfunction, due to which the car jerks when starting off, can be the CV joints. They are the first to be checked at a service station when a driver contacts a mechanic with a similar problem. Replacing these elements is quick, easy and most often does not cost a lot of money if we are talking about a domestic car and not a rare foreign car. Moreover, some car owners can replace the CV joints themselves; for this you will need a pit in the garage, a small set of tools and new CV joints, which are sold in almost any car store.

The second possible reason is the checkpoint. But if the gearbox is not completely working, then you can also observe other manifestations besides jerks at the start: difficulty shifting any gear, noise from the unit, etc. If we are talking about a manual gearbox, then its repair can be inexpensive . It is difficult to replace any gear in such a mechanism, but it is possible, and this is something that specialists at service stations undertake. If the automatic transmission malfunctions, the situation becomes more complicated. Repairing it will be expensive. If the variator in an automatic transmission begins to jerk, then the service station most often offers its complete replacement, since repair in this case is impractical. It is difficult to diagnose a problem that causes the car to jerk when starting off on your own. This can only be revealed by service station specialists during a detailed inspection of the car and its components.

If the steering rack is faulty, it may well jerk when starting to move. Worn elements of this mechanism are usually not repaired - they are replaced with new ones. Also, the steering rack tips can dangle freely in their positions, which will cause jerks when accelerating sharply and when braking. In this case, the steering wheel wobbles. Damage to the steering column cannot be ruled out (usually this occurs in an accident), which can also create jerks when moving or starting.

If the steering mechanism is faulty, the driver should feel vibrations in the steering wheel, and not just jerks when starting off. And again, nothing can be advised to the driver regarding self-repair. Understanding the steering mechanism is no easier than understanding the gearbox system. So you have a direct route to the service station.

Unfortunately, if the car jerks when starting off, the engine can also cause a similar phenomenon. Moreover, its different systems may be to blame for this. A distinctive feature of engine malfunction is jumps in crankshaft revolutions, which is easy to notice on the tachometer. In this case, the engine may not listen well to the driver: it may not respond to pressing the gas pedal, it may make noise.

Diagnosing what exactly causes jerking is quite difficult. The problem may be in the fuel injection system. For example, if the injectors are clogged, then fuel will flow into one combustion chamber, but not into the other. There may also be disproportionate mixing of fuel with air, which will cause jerks not only when starting from a stop, but also when driving on a flat road.
