Car Jerks when Radiator Fan Engages
I have noticed while at idle my car jerk when the raditor fan kicks in. I dont know if its an Acura thing but I notice that about the MDX and the TL. Its a very slight jerk and the engine sounds fine. Once I had a TSX loaner with about 8000 miles on it and its jerk kinda hard. Mine at the moment is very slight and so where the others I drove as loaners (TL, MDX) in the past. Anyone notice this?

intoxicated is neutral and has a clean balanced record.

its normal for all cars to jerk because of the amperage draw. same goes with AC turning on, power steering (dry parking), and ect.

basically, 1: fan turns on. 2: load on your electrical system because the fan engaging,
3:amperage draw
4:stress on the belt causing a slight jolt = engine working slightly harder
5:rpm drop from engine load
= rough(er) idle

I think I know what you're talking about. But jerk is such a strong term to use to describe the action. Maybe flutter? I feel/hear more of a change when the AC kicks on and off.
