Do you still have this problem? My brother in law actually fixed this for my idsi city. Btw, i have both idsi n vtec variants of the same make 🙄 i know i know, idsi was my mother’s while i got the vtec real cheap from relative.


The idsi’s condition before i took it over was hair-pulling complicated, internally. According to my mother, she already brought it to more than 7 workshops/garages to diagnose the jerking issue and that majority stated that it was the GB, some even said it was the A/C compressor and she did get that changed, which didnt do anything at all except that the car has freezer like coldness. Also the car couldnt go up hill, it will stall mid way if not crawling uphill real slow causing a jam.


After i took it over about a month, it got worse that it stalled at a red light, (wife was with our 2yo when she was using and shlt happened). Left it at my in-law’s for a week, then my BiL asked if i’d mind to let him fiddle around with the car a bit. (He’s a car enthusiast). End of the week when i went over to get the car, the jerking was gone, power went up, no jerking/stuttering/stalling ever since, and even overtaking slower cars uphill. This was 3 years ago when covid just hit. Still no issues on performance, although it is going through some wear n tear issues atm, cause its 20years old now… he did mentioned to me what did he do to it, and it didnt cost anything. Also he mentioned engine mountings were bad, so im mot sure which was it that fixed the damned car. Mountings or sensor. Ill get back on which sensor does he mean later.

Forgot to mentioned, our cars used to go to Honda SC for everything. Now besides all oil/fluids change. We dont go there anymore.
