Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing engine jerking while in drive mode, which can be attributed to several potential causes. Commonly, this issue may arise from ignition system problems, such as misfiring engines due to faulty spark plugs or coil packs. Additionally, fuel system issues like bad fuel injectors, a faulty fuel pump, or a clogged fuel filter can lead to similar jerking sensations during acceleration. Transmission problems, including issues with the engine's timing belt, may also contribute to this issue. Some owners note that factors such as worn spark plugs or timing belt problems exacerbate the jerking sensation. If this issue occurs without triggering a check engine light, it is advisable for owners to seek a professional mechanic's evaluation to diagnose and resolve the underlying cause of the jerking.
