2017 Cima Experiencing Unsteady Engine Performance and Check Engine Light Issues

Shaking while idling

Jerking on acceleration

Loss of engine power

Stalling while idling

Unsteady engine

Hey folks, hope you're all doing good! I'm wracking my brains over an issue with my 2017 Cima, gas engine, clocking around 20,001 KM. The symptoms are all over the shop - check engine light's on, we've got a power loss, unsteady engine, jerking upon acceleration, and it stalls and shakes while idling. Based on this, I'm venturing to guess we've got a fault in the tank ventilation system. Had a dodgy experience with a mechanic last time, so I just wanted to check if anyone here had similar problems. How did your mechanic handle it? Looking forward to your insights, cheers!

Hey, desired to share my experience with my 2014 Gloria, pretty similar situation here. Took her to the garage due to a check engine light and some wobbly idling. My mechanic pointed to the engine hoses and yes, he was damn spot on. Turned out there was an issue with the vacuum hoses and needed to replace them. This wasn't a walk in the park as messing with these hoses can lead to serious damage if care is not taken. Let's just say that this isn't a situation you'd want to swipe away as just another engine issue. Hope your Cima gets all chirpy and lively again soon! Don't let any garage fool ya! Keep us posted on the progress. Safe rides!

Hey there! Appreciate you sharing your experience; sounds like I'm pretty much on the same boat with my Cima. Vacuum hoses seem like a plausible culprit from what I'm gathering. If you don't mind me asking though, do you remember how much you had to shell out for the repair? Also, has anything else cropped up since the fix? Hoping my ride won't throw another surprise after this. Cheers!

Hey there! Happy to share! For the hose replacements and the whole shebang, it cost me about 175 quid - pretty reasonable considering I've had no issues since then. And yeah, the trouble with the tank vent system was sorted once the mechanic had a squint at it. Not to worry, your Cima should be right as rain once it's done. Remember, don't let those grease monkeys bluff you! Wishing you joyrides with your beast again soon. Keep us in the loop! Cheers!

Hey, fantastic info man, thanks! 175 quid isn't half as bad as I was expecting, it's a relief hearing you've had no issues since. Looks like I've got a bit of a job ahead getting my Cima back in shape. Fingers crossed! Really appreciate your help and will certainly keep you guys posted. Keep sharing the wisdom, cheers!
