My 2001 Acura jerks after a certain speed or going up hill

Asked by Maxamillius Sep 16, 2014 at 11:01 PM about the 2001 Acura CL 3.2 FWD

Question type: General

so for a while now i noticed my car starts to jerk when I'm on the highway going higher
than 60 or if I'm going up a decent slope. at first i was for sure it was the cylinders so i
replaced half of them, didn't have enough money for all of them, and it was good for a
little while but started doing it again. later i noticed that when the car isn't moving it also
shakes. now my check engine light came on and i brang it to a shop and almost all of the
cylinders were misfired. does anyone else have troubles with their cars cylinders going
out fast?

No i mean the cylinders. On the reader it comes up as "cylinder 1 misfire, cylinder 3 misfire, etc." But would the coils cause them to misfire?

I have same car exact car and mine does the same thing, also when in park it starts revving up , i still cannot figure out why it has been doing it

I have the same car as well and I had similar problem with my car surgeing the EGR ports were clogged and dirty throttle body took the plenum off and u can see it looks like a maze clean all the gunk outta dat and same with throttle body take it apart clean it good with break cleaner or throttle body cleaner and use a fuel stabilizer like sea foam cleans injectors filters debris carbon deposits over time I was skeptical on using it but noticed results on few vehicles over the years and the car misfire problem definitely not cylinder problem u getting a royal fucking from your garage could be bad injector or wire problem or coil plug definitely not cylinder gone
