and when i come to a turn, it starts to choke it self in 2nd & 3rd a couple of times,

The flux capacitor that controls the injection while the engine is at different lateral and horizontal load maybe playing up.


In other words. Something like this is something that is not very easily diagnosable through the forums. Youd need so much more information than "chugging and bunny hops".
And the fact that its a manual. It could just be the human error.
Not trying to be smarta$$ but its a fault that requires roadtesting.
Who knows. The oil could be overfilled. And whenever you turn a corner the reserve oil that is in the sump leans more towards one side of the crank creating a difference in load in one piston causing the engine to miss.

Just a shot in the dark.

Youre better off having a mechanic look at it.

does it have fuel in teh tank?

ahah, thanks man

i'll give what you said a try

and i'll be back with some updates,

happends in gears 2-3-4

dads old mazda 626 used to do the same thing, turned out to be a burnt O2 sensor..have a shop check it proper, cause i doubt your going to diagnose it on ozhonda cause we cant imagine driving it

okay heres an update


i've attempted to just reve on the spot = normal

i took it to the mechanics, he couldnt really diagnose the problem he said he needs to have a good look at the car for couple of hours, but he told me from a little test drive that it could be the petrol pump,

noideas,

waiting for updates once he checks it up,

hey guys,

i''ve taken it to a mechanic, he had a look and little test drive but couldnt sort it out just yet,

he said he needed to do a test scan with this compact scanning machine, and results came out it might be the sparkies thats gone, or air filter needs replacement, or petrol pump


filter was checked = fine
sparkies where changed to new

still has the problem so it nailed it down to petrol pump,

he said no fix no pay. so i was like ook..


so he went on and changed the petrol pump, with a new one and everything was all good, he said that old petrol pump was clogging and shit...



so yeh it ended up costing me fortune as im a person that studys @ tafe

$400 for sparkies + petrol pump installed
$50 for the scan check up

$450 to sort it all out,


oh wells eveything is all good now so just to let you guys know how it went thats all,



thanks to people who contributed and helped out, few of you's almost understood the problem

petrol pump.. okay expensive
spark plugs are $20 unless u get platnium $80-90
lol.

As for the scan it was a honda jazz? tried looking at the DIY's u can run ur own ecu checks.
