Car is Sputtering
ok today i was coming home from work and i was at 65mph and i dropped it in to 4th to pass on the freeway and then put into 5th at 80mph and the car started hesitating and sputtering it did it a little bit when i was accelerating now it does it all the time. it sputters now when i take off all the time and i didn't see any vaccum leaks, i don't know if it could be the valve cover gasket leaking into the spark plug holes, or if i need bigger fuel injectors.
my mods to help you out: 3in full exhaust from turbo back cooleeze intake pipe and radiator pipe blitz bov intrax lowering springs tokico shocks |

if your valve covers are leaking, it is most likely leaking oil right into your spark plaugs causing the sputtering.

When My car started sputtering it was the connection on my TPS coming loose. The locking tab is broken on my harness which is falling apart.
Im definately going to get a good one on vacation to bring back and swap. If your certain about your vacuum, put a vacuum tester on the car anywayz just to be sure on the T connection behind the intake manifold and see what it does. This is a pretty good idea of what you will see when you put the guage on and basic diagnosis for the readings. http://autorepair.about.com/cs/troub.../aa112401a.htm |

I thought about the NGK's. I think they are both good sets. |
