1jz hesitation.
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:00 pm
Having a few troubles with my car. Yesterday me and a mate changed the spark plugs on my chaser (1jzge). Drove home and it was fine. But this morning as i was leaving for work this morning, i put my foot down and it started hesitating quite badly. I then came up to an intersection and came to a stop and it started to die on me so i gave i a bit of a rev. As i drove off and it changed into second, there was quite a loud clunk from the engine bay.
Had to drive to work like this as i had no other way to get there. I had a look at the leads to see if they were all on properly and took it for a drive at lunchtime, and it was fine.
But when i left work the same thing happened again. When i got home i pulled it to bits again and tripple checked that the plugs were in tight and the leads were on properly. Put it back together, took it for a drive. All was well until i turned around to come home. The hesitation isn't as bad, but it is still very noticeable. Now im unsure as to what to look at.
Any ideas/suggestions would be fantastic.
Edit: forgot to mention this only happens on a flat or going up a hill. Going down a hill it drives fine.
