so latley i've been having this weird problem. when i'd be going about freeway speed my car would start to stutter. it'd happen randomly but not often.

but today it was happening a lot and not just at freeway speeds. it would happen in 3 4 5 gear at about 3500rpm+. has this ever happened to anyone before? if so any solutions?

and by stuttering: imagine constantly flooring the car and releasing it quickly, making it jump foward and back.

any help would be appreciated

 

Fuel filter?

Any CELs?

 

my car hasn't been throwing any CELs. if it was a bad fuel filter, would their be a cel?

A bad fuel filter will not always throw a CEL.

 

oo isee. is this something i could replace at home? how much would it cost me for a new one. thanks for your help

 

Yeah you can do it your self. I forgot the wrench size for it but ill give u the break down. Grab wrenches ranging from 14-17 (again not sure), and go to napa, dealership, shucks, etc. and get a fuel filter for the car that you got(prolly around 30 bucks). Open your gas tank to relieve pressure, make sure you do that otherwise fuel may get onto you, your clothes, or your eyes &gt;.&lt; sux trust me I know. Look at the filter, now find the filter on you firewall that matches that filter, probably on the passenger side. Take the bolts out, replace the gaskets, and put it in to the holder, and tighten the tops back on. Close the gas tank and your done.

 

fer sure. gonna have to that tomorrow. good looking bro

 

o2 sensor?

 

If it were o2 i dont think it would have been so picky on when it the car starts to act up. It makes more sense it being speed and load sensitive, aka mayb the fuel filter. My opinion, not set in rock.

 

I had the same problem with my first DA. Changed the fuel filter on the fire wall (about $14 @ Meyers Auto Parts) and the problem was solved!
Try this first. Make sure to use the new copper rings it comes with. Do not try to use the old ones. Oh, and don't lose them either!
