Quick Question
Hey you guys, I havn't posted in a while, I hope everyones doing good. I just have a quick question. When I start up the Teg after it's been sitting in the garage all night or what not, I have to let it sit for about 3 minutes, I go right away the car bumps, is that normal for a car that's 10 years old, or is there somthing wrong? Thanks alot.

Yea, when I put it in gear, from being parked for a while, to reverse, or drive, it bumps if I don't let it sit for a couple of minutes on. My dad always told me it's because of the age, and to just let it sit for 2 minutes before leaving, is he right? I just hope it's nothing that could make potential buyers for the car when I sell it back out.

lol, sorry, umm let me explain a bit more, the RPM meter, when you start the car should be below the 1, instead when I start mine the RPM is at 2 and a bit, which means I have to wait for the meter to go below the one before I can go or else the car will do a quick "jerk" or whatever you want to call it.

get yourself a remote starter from audio heaven and start up your car 5-10 minutes before you leave the house...

Nothing is wrong with your car.
1. When you first start your car after its been sitting overnight, the idel will be higer to reach normal operating temps sooner. This is the same for both manual and auto trans.
2. For auto cars, when you first start the car and shift from park to drive, there is a 'bump' that you feel because the car is not quite warmed up yet.
You dont necessarily have to warm up the car for too long, but once you start driving, the automatic shifts will get smoother. Don't worry, its normal.

What I do in the winter is start the car for 1-2 min then drive off slowly not applying to much gas, the car will warm up better this way and faster. It will be rough(shifting) its normal especialy as of late since we are having cooler temps in the early morning late night. I do find it anoying the integra seems worse than any of my friends cars(that are not integras) in the same situation.
