Why does my car stutter when I go uphill?
Typically a faulty fuel pump, or clogged fuel filter can also cause these issues. You can check the fuel pressure with an in-line gauge if needed. There are some sensors that will also cause issues like this. Typically the check engine light and a diagnostic scan will reveal these types of issues.
Why does my car jerk when accelerating at low speeds?
More often than not, when a car jerks when accelerating at low speeds, it’s because there’s a problem with the spark plugs in it. A simple tune-up should be able to stop the jerking once and for all. But there could also be a problem with the air intake system or with the catalytic converter.
Why does my car judder at low revs?
If your car is parked overnight in cold temperatures, condensation can form inside the distributor cap, causing the engine to misfire when accelerating at low speeds. A mounting that is loose, worn or broken will cause your car to vibrate at low revs.
Why is my car juddering when I change gear?
Shaking or juddering are classic signs of transmissions problems and suggest that there is some problem with the gears. Your car’s gear box may also suffer from a grinding noise or feeling when you shift into a gear.
Can spark plugs cause juddering?
Faulty spark plugs or high tension leads If the plugs are faulty or unclean, they can fail to properly ignite this mixture, causing the engine to misfire and resulting in a judder. Alternatively, the issue could be with the high tension (HT) leads, which connect the spark plugs to each of the ignition coils.
Why does my car stutter when I accelerate?
An acceleration problem is usually the result of insufficient fuel, air, or spark during the combustion process.

Why is my 1999 Camry V6 stuttering up hill?
I was driving my 1999 Camry V6 up a hill yesterday and it started stuttering. It hasn’t been accelerating well lately either. I put in some STP fuel injector cleaner and that hasn’t helped – may have even made matters worse.
When do you feel a shudder going up a hill?
Specifically, when I am climbing a hill and the transmission is in a higher gear, say 4th and the RPMs are relatively low, say 1800, I feel a shudder as the car goes up the hill. When I let my foot off the gas the shudder stops.
