got this weird litlle jerk at a constant cruise speed it dont do it while i accelerate but just at a constant speed and rpm if hit the gas the power seems normal oil and temp gauges are normal and once i came to a stop it almost died once when i got to my driveway it seemed normal

bump^

 

Sounds like torque converter shudder. I had a more thorough post typed up, but saw your bump and figured I'd leave you to hunt for the info.

Please do not bump a post unless you have waited at least 24 hours as the rules of the forum require.

 

I had the same thing about a year ago. Ended up doing several different things at the same time and it has not come back.

From what I recall...

-clean MAF
-Seafoamed
-replaced cap and rotor (brass contacts)
-fuel injector cleaner (Lucas)
-fuel filter

And maybe another couple of three more minor maintenance items. One or a combination of two or more fixed the problem.

I thought it might have been the torque converter and really didn't want it to be so I tried a few other things to eliminate anything else first.

 

Torque converter shudder can be caused by many different things. The MAF sensor has been the #1 cause in my experience. If left go too long, it can either wear out the clutch in the converter, or blow the TCC solenoid.

 

can mass air flow be cleaned or just replaced sorry about the bump but a fresh post on topic takes it to the front page of the forum where its more noticeable again i apologise for the impateints

 

it can be cleaned like ajbert stated

 

today i have also noticed black suet around the tip of my exhaust i have a pcm for less tune with the rear o2 deleted as well as the egr sensor and i have a ses will a dtc code reader still read a custom tuned obd2 and also i smell a fait smell of gas could my spider injection be the culprit

 

A tune doesn't change the basic OBD2 structure of the PCM, it just changes what codes are valid to trip.

Clean the MAF sensor and see what that gets you.

 

thanks klye i found a nice how to thread on the cleaning so i will give it a shot tonight after work looks easy enough/ well i cleaned the maf sensor and went for a nice drive didnt have any jerk at any cruising rpm or speeds and seems like it ran a little smoother
