Sputtering?
OK. When i start the car it starts fine but then starts sputtering and almost dies but it dosent. When i am accelerating it goes but it sputters and does not accelerate nearly as fast as it used to. So i am having to drive around like a granny cause it wont go. I am thinking that it might be the spark plugs. Please help.

Re: Sputtering?
Just a thought, but have you checked your VAF? Made sure it was hooked up properly, checked for leaks in the tubing to your intake manifold?

Re: Sputtering?
Fuel Filter is mounted down on the Tranny, your gonna have to take out the battery to reach it. Try that before replacing the fuel pump.

Re: Sputtering?
Thanks for all the help guys i have changed all the plugs and the fuel filter and the distributer cap and button. The problem was three of my plug wires have cracks all the way down them. I was going to replace them but they sent me the wrong ones so i have to wait and order them tomorrow.
