Acceleration problem
#6
If the problem occurs between 1350 and 2150 rpm, it's normal. The Earth Dreams 1.5L on the Fits has poor air and fuel mixing inside that rpm range, which can cause lumpy acceleration, especially on a cold engine. You can avoid the problem by shifting at higher rpm. I shift up at 17, 28, 36, 43, and 49 mph respectively. That keeps my RPM above 2200. If I'm under 27 mph, I usually shift up to a gear that I can keep my RPM under 1300 as long as I'm not going uphill or trying to accelerate. Otherwise I keep my RPM at or over 2200 at all times. I still never got less than 41 MPG US on a tank either, so it doesn't hurt gas mileage.
