why is my Honda CR-V Fifth Generation (2017-2022) jerking while driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery's negative terminal to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil using a socket set.
• Remove the spark plugs with a spark plug socket.
• Inspect the spark plugs for wear; replace them if they appear worn or fouled.
• Install new spark plugs to the manufacturer's specifications (typically 13-15 ft-lbs of torque).
• Reattach the ignition coils.

3. Check and Change Transmission Fluid

• Locate the transmission dipstick and remove it to check the fluid level.
• If low or discolored, drain the transmission fluid from the drain plug (if equipped) into a pan.
• Replace with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid (typically Honda ATF-Z1 or DW-1).
• Refill the transmission and check the level again, ensuring it is within the appropriate range.

4. Clean Throttle Body

• Remove the intake air duct connected to the throttle body.
• Use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle body and remove any carbon buildup.
• Reattach the intake air duct securely.

5. Test Fuel System

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Turn the ignition on (without starting the engine) to check the fuel pressure; it should match manufacturer specifications (typically around 30-40 psi).
• If pressure is low, inspect the fuel filter for clogs and replace it if necessary.
