Hey guys,

For the last few months my car has been jerking ALOT when going on or off the throttle. Its a 97 ZR(GT) 5sfe manual. Its not the normal manual tranny shake when you let off, its very violent and all my passengers comment which kills me a little bit every time. So far i've replaced the:
* spark plugs
* dizzy
* cleaned the TB and IACV valve
* new air filter
* cleaned all moving mechanisms with the throttle cable and pedal assembly to ensure no sticking

However the jerking lives on frown.gif

The only other things i could think of are the spark plug wires and the TPS sensor.
I borrowed an ohmetre and did some testing of the TPS. In the fully closed position the reading is 0.4 and the allowable range is (0.2 - 5.7). When fully open the reading is 2.6 and the range is (2 - 10.2). Theres another test that is two diff pins that reads 3.4 and the range is(2.5 - 5.9). Do the first two seem a little low? Yes they are in the allowable range but almost every other electrical connection i have tried has been smack bang in the middle of the range.
I also did a continuity test of the TPS sensor. When the distance between the throttle stop screw(most commonly knows as the idle adjust screw) and the plate is 0.5mm there should be continuity and when 0.7mm or greater there should be no continuity. Now when i have it at 0.5mm (using a feeler gauge) the ohmetre reads OL and the same thing when at 0.7mm. Does this null continuity result mean the TPS sensor is bad? And could that possibly be whats causing the jerking? If not what do you think could be causing it?

Quick one at the end, what should the idle be on a 5sfe manual? The BGB says that all 5sfe no matter what year or tranny ahould be at 700, however the BGB i have is for a 98 OBDII car and mine is a OBDI. I have also read that the manual idle should be up around 800-850. Mine is currently at 700 but there is alot of vibration and i have only recently replaced the front and rear with non-polyurethane engine mounts. Should i raise it up to 800 using the screw or leave it at the 700?

Thanks alot guys!

Reece

The FPR and injectors are good, dont have a vacuum pump to test the response of the MAP sensor but all pins are reading the correct values. I forgot to put in the list above that i've replaced fuel filter and clutch as well trying to solve it.
