When I drive a few miles the X runs good. But after the motor gets hot, the X begins to jerk, specially in a traffic jam, and after some seconds the motor stalls. This is specially when I have the A/C on. Another symptoms is when the X is jerking and jumping, the battery Gauge is oscillating between 8 and 12 volts aprox.
This is a really bad problem !! :(

The X stop of jerking when I turn off the A/C or I shift the trans to Neutral (when jerking the thrans was in D).

I have replaced the IAC, Fuel Filter, spark plugs and Injectors cleaned up.
Also, I got a 14 code on the test (PIP circuit Failure).

I have made a search and the problem seems to be a bad wiring or harness on the ICM and/or related components.

But I'm not sure, what else can it be ???
What components I have to test ?
Any comments will be helpful to me !!

Thanks for your replies.
:)
 






Read my reply on the "High idle in park 1,500rpm and 900rpm stopped in drive, help!" thread.

Hope this helps.
