Get the egr valve checked as is highly common for the 02 03 ym modelled jazzes. This will cause the car to do all sorts of weird thinks as it gets stuck open and becomes similar to a misfire.

oh ok.. if the egr valve is stuffed how much is a new one btw?

also can any1 show me a picture of where the EGR valve is located in the jazz?
thx appreciated

If the car is under 5yrs/150000km you may have honda coverage as is a known issue with the jazz 02/03 models.

it's right below the oil cap, just bring it in to the dealer and voice your concern and then maybe nudge em towards possible the EGR and see what they have to say about it
