I have a 1988 Honda Prelude Si 4WS with a 5 speed manual trans. When I accelerate the car jerks rapidly and the rpm needle bounces erratically between 0 and almost 3000 rpm. It will smooth out for a short time and repeat. I have all new parts on the ignition side so I am at a point of severe frustration. It jerked so hard 1 time it popped out of 2nd gear even though the syncronizers are in need of replacement. At first when the jerking started I thought it might be on the emission side so I replaced both O2 sensors in the exhaust manifold with OEM sensors. So if ANYONE has ANY idea of what it could be please let me know. If you want to contact me by phone please ask and I will provide my number. Thanks again eric.

when the car is in neutral.can you rev the car without
a problem? say 4-5k rpm.if so. sounds clutch related.Found the problem!! Easy Fix!! The bolt that goes through a useless bracket that is ground for the cyl sensor,thermostat sensor, and another sensor was loose and wouldn’t tighten. I merely removed the bracket snd screwed the bolt into the head directly and it works just fine. Tightened good and stopped the short causing the cylinder sensor to cause the misfiring of the fuel injectors. I know others have had this problem so I hope everyone see’s my fix and and checks this instead of dumping a ton of money first. Thanks guys!
