Guys ..i need help. I'm having this jerking problem with my car... It seems that in the morning or if i dun start my car the whole day... The care will jerk in lower rpm..so what i did was i have to rev the car to higher rpm then only it will not jerk in 1st gear and the rest of the gears.. My main concern is when i wan to pull out from a junction or traffic light. Sometimes the car stalls in the middle of a junction...which can lead to accidents....i just want to know what can cause this problem and for sure if i send to workshop, they have the tendency to con me, had bad experience last time... so i need possibility of what can caused this problem.... thanks

My Car PC

Ok... some ppl might buy the ready made car pc like Voom and some other brands in the market that uses Mini ITX mobo.... but no many people can buy those after market car pc with liliput touch screens which is expensive and not available here ... so here i post my D.I.Y car pc which have serve me for 1 year plus already...and have not given any problem so far. here are some pix of my car pc. Might not be much..but it works ..

Here's the CPU unit that i have D.I.Y with acrylic and laminated with checked plate stickers

The internal desktop and laptop part that i have installed... the PSU enclosure have been removed so taht i can fit it in the case...some of the cables have been removed oso... the rig consist of a P4 2.6ghz, 512 mb Apacer DDR ram, 40gb WD Scorpio lap top hdd, Geforce 440mx GC, and a MSI mobo.

I use 12cm and 8cm vizo uv led fan for cooling , 12cm blowing and 8 cm exhausting all the heat from inside of the case

The power switch, reset switch, power LED and HDD LED

My USB ports which i have integrated on my center console.

I use wireless Logitech mouse to navigate.

I bought this LCD TFT indash monitor from Brother, using the svideo output from my GC, running Windows Media Player at that time.

This how the temp like when it is idling, picture was taken around 10am in the morning.

Temp after 45 minutes of drive, I'm running media player in the background at that time.

This the night shot of my TFT screen cool huh?

Some of you might wonder how i power the pc...I use DC to AC (12v-240V) inverters which i wired directly to my battery, i have made some test by not switching of my inverter for 3 day....the inverter that i bought seems to be on standby if the pc is not switched on. After 3 days of not using the car....the battery does not die...which means the inverter doesn't consume power even though it is not switched on... I also made a switch for the inverter which i integrated it on my center console. Well that's all I think.... so far no problem... no bad sectors on my hdd... battery did not die... and NO SHORTCIRCUIT oso, I am happy with it

p/s Sniper dude...as requested by you
