My car sputters (at least that is the best way I can think of how to describe it) and seems like it is not getting adequate fuel or a spark is not being fired. It is almost like it is being choked. But it only does it at low RPMs but not at idle. When I am in gear and start moving it about chokes out from about 1500-3500 rpms. I have to rev it up while driving to keep it from doing that. But if I don’t rev it just keeps sputtering, but not enough so that the car stalls, until I take it out of gear.
It started the other day and would only do it when I was in second gear, but over the next few days it started doing it every time I started and does it in about every gear, well at least up until third, b\c that is as high as I have gotten before having to cut it off. But whenever I finally get the car above 3500 RPMs it stops. I’ll start driving, it will do it, and then I get over 3500 RPMs and it stops. Then I shift gears and the RPMs drop back down into the lower RPMs and it will happen again until I get in the higher RPMs and so on…

Can anyone think of what the problem might be? My car is a 95 GSR with 100878 miles on it.

Thanks for any input

 

have you checked your plugs?

 

Well I had Acura replace them at 97000 miles, and they put new plugs in then, It has had all of the necessary scheduled work that needs to be done on it. I had the 100000 Mile check up done at 97000.

 

had the same problem, probably inigition connection (coil) somewhere... any msd components?

 

you should check your plugs, could be a number of things, even though the plugs are fairly new one of them could have a hairline crack in it and its not firing correctly, but i am sure that if you check your plugs it'll help you figure out the problem

 

could be fuel if water got in there from condensation but mileage and wear i'm leaning towards.

 

When was the lat time you changed your fuel filter?

 

im not sure when the last time I changed the fuel filter, but I think they do that at the 100000 mile check up.

I dont have any aftermarket plug or wires. My wires are old, so I am thinking it might be them.
