Jerks when starting SolvedSolved

2006 Honda Fit 160000 miles
Hello, my automatic Honda Fit 2006 started failing and it seems to be a standard vehicle. This is because, when starting the engine, speeds do not enter properly and I need to introduce first gear and then return it to direct. A mechanic told me it was a CVT transmission failure, which cannot be repaired. Is there any other option? Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it? Thanks.

Hi, everything can be solved. Before anything is done to the automatic transmission, take the vehicle to an Honda certified workshop, scan it and ask them to check it personally. On the other hand, CVT boxes can be repaired and even its parts can be found individually.

Thank you, Tranquilla, that's what I did. I took it to an Honda agency and the problem was in the spark plugs, there were some that were burnt. They were replaced and the car is now working without any failures. Thank you for your response.

Change spark plugs and clean the eight coils as well. If the problem persists, there might be a damaged coil which needs to be changed.
Mike from United States 11 years ago
Hello, the same happened to me and it was a rear coil that was failing, as I disconnected them and the problem disappeared. You can try it yourself.

I took my Honda fit to Honda Zambia were it was put on a diagnosis machine and no problem was found. So they had to reprogram the vehicle and also I discovered that the spark plugs needed to be changed,after all the changes the vehicle is no longer jerking.
Kanan from other 2 years ago
I'm facing a similar issue here. Car starts to jerk at around 3500rpm and is producing white smoke from the exhaust. Clears up eventually as I drive on. Recently serviced, replaced spark plugs and 1 ignition coil which was cut.

Bruce from United States 4 years ago
The loss of power and shutting off of your Honda Fit could be caused by several different issues. Some common causes of this problem include:

Fuel system issues: A clogged fuel filter, a weak fuel pump, or a malfunctioning fuel injector can all cause a loss of power during acceleration.
Ignition system issues: If the ignition system is not functioning properly, it can result in the engine misfiring and losing power. Issues with the spark plugs, spark plug wires, or the ignition coil can cause this problem.
Engine performance issues: A clogged air filter, a vacuum leak, or a malfunctioning mass air flow (MAF) sensor can all cause a decrease in engine performance.
Electronic control module (ECM) problems: The ECM controls many of the engine functions and if it fails, it can cause the engine to lose power.

喜弟er~ from other 2 years ago
You can take your car to a specialized auto repair shop and have them use a dedicated instrument to check the vehicle's fault codes, and then deal with the problem. My guess is that the transmission has not been properly matched with the vehicle or was poorly installed. The worst-case scenario is that there is a problem with the transmission itself.

Losing power

2008 Honda Fit 222000 miles
My Honda Fit GE6 2008 model loses power of i am stuck in traffic for long periods of time or if i leave it idling for too long. The response that i get when i press the pedal is its slow when picking up speed. However if i dont idle for long periods the response is great. Its a CVT engine. What could be the cause of that?

First, you can try cleaning the throttle valve, and then use a dedicated instrument to calibrate the idle speed to ensure that the vehicle's idle speed is stable after cleaning the throttle valve. You can also check the transmission oil to see if it needs to be replaced. Generally, the transmission oil needs to be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. It could also be that there is a blockage in the fuel line, causing insufficient fuel supply from the fuel injectors. It might also be that the high-voltage pack has cracks or the spark plugs need to be replaced.

2011 Honda Fit Hatchback 167222 miles
Honda Fit 2011 has started making a humming or whining noise. When driving uphill, the car seems to lose power, but after a while it starts driving normally again. The harder the engine has to work, the louder the noise becomes. Some mechanics suggested that the problem might be coming from the transmission (gearbox). I also replaced the wheel hub bearing, but the noise is still there. Several mechanics have inspected the car, but nobody has been able to identify the exact cause of the problem. I would like to know what could be causing this noise and the occasional loss of power.
