Heres what happened last week my car started sputtering i first and second gear when you take off, only for a second, and then it stops and acts like a regular car, it is prodominately getting worse and i have no clue what it is its a 91 dx.. it doesnt matter if the car is hot or cold it still does it ..it almost acts like something is clogged and then frees itself when you give it full throttle .. any help would be nice thanks Toren everything is stock on the car except air cleaner... thanks

Is this when the vehicle is cold or warm or both? How is your air filter? Had any work done on the car recently? My guess is that it is either air or fuel. A new fuel filter only costs like $20.00 and is very simple to replace if you have a helms/chiltons manual handy. Fuel pump is a little more spendy and not quite as simple. Good luck man.

 

Maybe a bad pcv valve. Or like stated above a bad fuel filter.

Do a basic tune up .

could be tps stumble,dirty injector,soft carbon build up,oxidized dizzy cap,bad dizzy rotor,plug wires,pcv,vacumm leak maybe?? umm about all i can think of at the top of my head

 

i would try the fuel filter and if it is not the fuel filter then at least you changed it

 

i just replaced everything except tps,pcv,and air filter, fuel filter ,, i was leaning towards air or fuel, but it only does it now when half to full throttle, warm or cold, i can actually make it do it , the one thing i left out on the other post was when it first happened i opened the hood and the airfilter had fallen off of the pipe. so that might be some of the reason it started but i cleaned it all up and it was still doing it thats why i was asking you guys to see if you gus could help ill start replacing that stuff and let you know how thats going... what do you think about the iacv maybe that needs cleaned... just asking.. thanks

 

did you change the distribitor cap??? Mine did it when ever it wanted and then would quit.
