driving at 60 car sputters until i down shift .. any ideas
toady is the third time this has happened in 6 months... im driving along around 60 mph and all of a suden the car like just starts to sputter with no response to giving it more throttle ... actually the more throttle you give themore it spits and sputter..... i put the clutch in and it goes away afer i downshift to fourth then back up to fifth..... i think its an ignition problem but im not 100% sure ... any one have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated...
Also its a 94 hatch with a '00 ls swap

I had the same problem with my car, but only while driving down a large hill. I would coast down the hill and when I got back on the gas at the bottom the car would sputter until I backed off.
The only response I got was to check the fuel filter. which I haven't done yet
But it hasn't happened since I posted the problem. So maybe now yours will go away

My car does that from time to time too (del sol w/h22). I haven't found the problem yet either. All I know is that it only happens to me when the engine is cold. I think it's fuel related too.

I've had something similar happen. it turned out to be the plugs and wires. they were just old and worn out. could be fuel filter if it's old and hasn't been changed in awhile.
and to IHateJDM
you probably shouldn't be driving your car that fast when the engine is cold. that's probably your problem

for me it happens at about 2k rpm's in any gear, not at 60 like the original poster. and on my car the plugs, wires, distributor, cap, rotor are all new.

Re: (GSX TO CX)
For everyone else having this problem, is it happening before or after your motor hits operating temp? If it's before, they you can rule out the o2.

if its only at 2000rpm replace your TPS (throttle position sensor)

Yeah, I got the same thing going on too. So prolly my TPS. I think I will look into getting it changed. It's brutal sometimes it sputters and such, like when your in a parking lot and people think you can't drive stick . It makes you look like an idiot. If I down shift and it bucks and jerks is this the TPS too. I'd figure it would be.

Always, ALWAYS let your car heat up before you just take it out for a spin. Even if you don't have the time, keep it under 2k till it starts to move the temp gauge. No sense in screwing things up by slamming it at 50 mph when its ice cold.

That's just common sense, but I guess for some people it's not . Good advice though.

Re: (95dxhatch)
TPS is new. I always baby my car when it's cold too. It's not a big problem, happens most often when it's cold outside. Maybe I'll just sell the damn thing before winter next year, and I'll be ok.
