Engine feels jumpy when idling or accelerating

Suzuki Swift 2008 Hatchback 76428 miles
I’ve been into the garage twice now and currently spent $2.5 k on fixes that haven’t worked: brand new engine + a whole new set of coils but the issue has continued.
I spoke the garage again and asked about the transmission mount and they said they tested it but there’s no issues showing - so what else could it possibly be??

It feels like the car is jerking or the accelerator is failing while I’m driving - it’s like a small jerk and makes me think the engine is about fail while I’m driving but then the issue will stop for a minute and then do it again. Repeatedly

I have only purchased a 2008, 1200cc suzuki swift 3 days ago and I am having this problem.

Please let me know if you find a solution! Speaking to other people it’s typically just an issue with the coil so best bet is to start there.

But my car went into the garage at the start of January and is still there now - it’s so frustrating.

@SarahHi Sarah,
I'm currently in the process of it being inspected through AA pre checks, and if any other problem arises with the swift then I can book it into the garage to get it well looked at, In hopes they pick up the problem then I can let you know how I go.

Oscillations and power loss when starting

Suzuki Swift 2000  146000 miles
My Swift starts and works properly as long as I don't start driving it fast, or else oscillations appear as well as a power loss. Sensors, coils, wires and spark plugs have been changed but it did not respond any better. It was then thought some air might be leaking through the intake manifold, and the cylinder head gasket was serviced because some oil had started to be burnt. The gasket and valves were replaced and all the leakages were removed. After that, the vehicle sounded smoother but still, when starting after being stopped at a traffic light, it does not respond as it should; I need to… Read complete

Sound like you have a bend or leaking inlet or exhust valve/s, you not missed a cam belt change and had a busted belt as error codes shows two cylinders are leaking no real compression /power take out spark plugs and check all are dry and same colour then with spark plugs removed place a clean rag or towel over the top of the engine keep loose end well away from drive belts,turn over the engine and see if engine blows any muck water or oil in to plug spot on rag or towel these will be the cylinders that are leaking, if so its a cylinder head off job and expensive repair,

Suzuki Swift 1.0 BoosterJet P0301 misfire under hard acceleration

Suzuki Swift 2018 Boosterjet, Turbo, 1.0 l, 3 cyl, automatic. 61000 miles
Hi everyone, I have a Suzuki Swift 1.0 BoosterJet (K10C engine) with an intermittent problem that I haven't been able to solve. The car runs normally most of the time, but when accelerating hard or putting the engine under load, the check engine light comes on and the engine starts misfiring and losing power. The fault is related to cylinder 1 (P0301 – Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected). One strange thing is that if I turn the engine off and start it again, the problem usually disappears and the car runs normally again, until it happens again under acceleration/load. So far, I have already repla… Read complete

Intrrmittent Misfire

Suzuki Swift 2010 Engine 52500 miles
My car idles very badly and often stalls. I have changed the spark plugs, a coil, air filter and spark plug leads but it still ticks over at around 500rpm. There is no manual adjustment.

Jerks when starting cold only in 1st gear.

Suzuki Swift 2013 SWIFT HATCHBACK 1.4 GA, manual 67 miles
Suzuki SWIFT HATCHBACK 1.4 GA, manual, year 2013, 67 miles, 108 thousand km. It jerks when starting cold and only in 1st gear. When it reaches normal temperature it no longer jerks. I checked the spark plug coils and they are fine. I changed the spark plugs. I changed the air filter. And it keeps jerking in 1st gear when cold. Has anyone had this same problem and solved it? How did you solve it?
