Unhappy Jerk & Vibration

I m having a Type S with MT6 and the car millage was only 4098km and everything is still stock. The car was only 3 mths old. When the car is station during the red traffic lite, notice once a while there are some jerking and vibration for about 4 to 5 sec. It only happen may be 3 or 4 time a week,.........

But started from 2 days ago, it seen like happening more regularly........... Can't take the stupid jerking and vibrating while the car is station.

Did any of U out there suffering from this??????

Is it the air-con fan kicks in that causes the virbration? If it is, maybe can check if any screws got loosen.

I really don't understand why sometime screws just got loosen on their own, I've just found the screw that holds the rubber liner and the oil cooler went missing, when I was washing the cooler area heard something drop to the lower chassis cover thru the rubber liner...

"Type S" is the name given in Asia to the higher powered, manual transmission model.

Renesis8, when is it occurring? I frequently have a "low idle/rough" if I stop for a long light within the first mile of driving from cold. With or without a/c on. It just seems to be during the first mile.

Yeah my car suffers from a low idle. Usually around 400 rpm with it warmed up. But sometimes it'll linger around 150 rpm like it's about to stall, and it jerks a good bit. Then I heel-toe it to keep it from stalling. But, I'll be fixing that problem soon.

Hehehe. ..... Yah may be I m Ignorant. but I m not stupid. I though my 8 suffering from bad jerk and vibration. But hahhaa...... Yours is even worse than mine and yet you live with it......

Anyway, Neon claimed that the whole jerking and vibration was cause by the pulley when the engine is running and station.

According to him, Some tunig company has launhed the light weight performance pulley. I'll try to get 1 to replace the stock model to find out whether it helps........... hehehe meanwhile Neon happy Jerking.......... While U r in your car..........

I think wat Neon claimed was rite in the sense tat when the car jerk, the RPM was stable w/o dropping! It shows tat the jerk and the vibration was caused by the pulley .................. Will try to get the light weight performance pulley to try out and let U guys know the outcome.

Has anybody with this symptom gotten the 'M Flash' done? If so, did it go away. I have the same problem, not really a problem, that my car rumbles at idle, cold or warm. I get my 'M Flash' on Tuesday and it's said to make for a smoother idle, so we'll see. --Mark

ps. I figured it rumbled cause it's a sports car!!!
