FYI the gen 1 2 and 4 ALL have Dual Throttle Bodies

Gen 3 has One Throttle Body



Gen 1 has 2 cables

Gen 2 has 1 cable with a rod that connects the two TB's

Gen 3 has 1 cable

Gen 4 is electronic

:eek::doh2::oops: well color me embarrased. I was aware that all but gen 3 had dual TBs and that the gen 1 has 2 cables and gen 4 is electronic (not a fan of TBW) but as I don't have a gen 2 at the moment I forgot that it was a single cable. Thanks for the corection.

I agree. Especially in 2nd gear for me -

Almost any manual transmission equipped car will do that when idling/very low speeds due to gear/u-joint/overall drivetrain slop. Once it gets into a rythym you need to depress the clutch pedal or apply more throttle to break that rythym.

I just went up to the Viper shop that the car is at. He is doing a few more repairs, but this one is finished.

The Passenger side TB was opening first & created the issue.
Now that the driver side TB opens a little bit earlier the jerking is much better. It is not perfect, but I guess that is normal.

Thanks very much for the help.
