My regards to all fellow Honda Sifu's

I own a Honda City 1.5Vtec and this is the problem i am facing:

1) on a slow speed, the car chokes (when i release accelerator pedal, the car sorts of choke forward - not smooth cruise & when i accelerate again it chokes backward)

2) if i idle too long (IE in a jam) this scenario happens.

3) when i cruise (release accelerator) it is not smooth (choking effect - as if the car is having resistance to go forward smoothly)

4) all this happens only on low gear ratio? i mean the starting 10 - 30 km/h (NOT idle to 10km/h)



p.s. Someone has suggested that i do a start clutch recalibration which i have done, below is what i have done.

Calibration Procedure with Driving the Vehicle


1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Start the engine under no-load conditions, then turn the headlights on. (That means no aircond, no radio, do heaters)
3. Start off in [D] position, and drive the vehicle until vehicle speed reaches 60 km/h (37 mph), then decelerate the vehicle in more than 5 seconds without pressing the brake pedal to reach completion.
4. Test-drive the vehicle to verify that a problem does not occur on the start clutch control system.

I am confused of the problem. From what i know, the Vtec gearbox has a WIDE variety of problems and i do not know what to diagnose it for. Knowing the peeps from the Honda Workshop will encourage a change of gearbox (RM 30k) which is not what i sign up for.

Your opinion and advice is highly appreciates. Please advice. Thanks

A confuse Honda City owner.
