Hello,

Car started to sputter while driving this morning. It was more like pressing the accelerator gas not flowing smoothly to the engine. Luckily this happened as I was about 3 mins. from my destination, so I was able to get to my destination and park the car. I cut the car off and restarted and there was no sputter at idle and when pressing the accelerator. I know this is not much to go on, but i'm affraid that when i start driving again the problem will reoccur. Is there anything in particular that I should check (i.e. fuel filter, etc.)?

Thanks!

 

Many of the veterain guy here would start out with the basics...
Last tune-up (cap, rotor, plugs)
Cel codes ( Have you checked)
This is where I would start hopefully it will at least give a direction to go in

 

Did you figure out the problem? I'm having the same issue.

 

Drove car later that day and didn't have the problem again. Also added Seafoam the same day. May have been related to a reoccurring problem with the transmission computer that resurfaced yesterday. The problem is that the trans computer gets
confused and the "P" and "D" are displayed at the same time. To get around the problem
I have to manually shift gears until I can reset the computer by removing the NEG batter cable. This works everytime until it flakes out again. I posted this problem before and I think it have something to do with the TCU?? Anyway, that's what I think caused my sputter or maybe it was something in the fuel...who knows...it is a 1992;-) Hope this
helps.

I have changed the plugs, but not the rotors and caps. There's a CEL that I determined was anoth issue quite some time ago. However, I think I need to test it again to see what else I have wrong.
