1996 HB Hesitates on acceleration and jerks on deceleration
It's a 96 HB with KA24E 4 cylinder and 5 speed transmission. Spark plugs are brand new, as are the fuel filter and air filter. It only has 104,000 miles on it.
It hesitates going up hills, unless I downshift into 3rd gear and really rev it up. Some of these same hills never used to require that I downshift out of 5th. It also jerks quite a bit if I don't feather the gas. Most noticeably in 5th gear.
Well, I checked the sensor, and the wire had broken off at the connector, so I soldered the wires back on and that took care of the hesitation. However, I still get that same jerking on acceleration and deceleration, unless I feather the gas pedal. There are now no check engine codes.
