EG tacho bouncing and shuddering launch

Hey guys,

Did a bit of searching but didn't find exactly what i was looking for so putting this in the noob forum to avoid the haters.

I checked out a car the other day and discovered a few problems. One was the car launches feeling like its gonna stall (someone else drove it so it's not that i can't drive stick). Also the tacho needle bounces up and down when accelerating so you can't see accurately what revs you're at (say you're at 3k rpm, the needle will oscillate between 2k and 4k). Seller says the CSC needs a rebleed and that it'll fix both the shuddering problem and tacho. My mechanic on the other hand said the flywheel needs machining but seller said thats not the case.

In addition, the car was not driven for 3 months and low on fluids.

The seller is willing to take $600 off the price.
Just wanting to get your opinions on what is wrong and how to fix it and if it will be expensive. I plan to replace all fluids anyway

Not sure if any more information is needed to diagnose the problem. The car is EFI if that matters

Cheers :)

does the engine shudder as the tacho jumps?

welcome abourd member!!

Engine accels smooth throughout the rev range, just the tacho spastic. Maybe the wires or dizzy? and should i be feeling or hearing a vtec kick on the d16y8?

probably the dizzy gona koo koo.

Sounds like it needs a distributor
Also, there will be no vtec kick on a d16y8

he needs to buy the car before he can play with it.

Dizzys are costly right? :S Are you talking the whole dizzy or just the cap

lol



op don't by that piece of shit.

wait for a decent dc2 vtir to pop up for sale.

he want's to learn how to handle that knob before he gets manual license, nomsayin.....

I need a 'driver under instruction' sign... cos you know, i obey the law. Cannot find :( must be black and yellow

Ok so does the problem have anything to do with flywheel needing machining or CSC need rebleeding? Cos flywheel hella expensive lah

An unbalanced flywheel will cause shudder when you release the clutch pedal to engage drive, directly at the frictrion point. It will never be unbalanced to the point of making the tachometer bounce up and down.

Doubt the clutch slave cylinder will cause shudder, not to my knowledge.

lol

Ok so the flywheel is ****ed... shudder at friction point

It's not ****ed, it's unbalanced.

Happens when you change clutch and don't machine the flywheel.

has nothing to do with tachometer jumping up and down.

You can keep driving like that and nothing detrimental will happen, Just shudder, caused by lazy clutch install.

If the tacho is going spastic then theres a loose wire on the iginition control module. easy fix and doesnt cost you anything.

Alright the bounce is similar to this video. Skip to 0:18. BUT my issue does the bouncing all throughout the rev range not just in vtec.

Agreed. Take off cap, tighten connectors and put som dielectric grease in there for a perfect connection. Shudder is a separate issue
