#185434 My car starts up right away and runs fine for about 3 minutes and runs good driving then the longer the car is on the car spudders horribly, it will do a jerking motion while in gear just to go faster, when in 4th gear you can floor it and it will go slower. This engine is a d16z6 with 54,000 miles, new spark plugs, clean gas, I cleaned the throttle body with some cleaner. The mechanic said my check engine light said i needed a new ecu, I looked at mine and it was fried then I replaced it with a new one and still has the same problem, I'm thinking it's the fuel filter, what do you think?

#185435 I had this problem with 2 of my other hatches, its the dizzy
check the cap and rotor, or bad replace.
if good it could be the Ignition Control Module.
But i bet you a new cap and rotor will solve your issue.
