Sputtering,.. Help Please

Post by fromtornashes »

Well, my car has been sputtering really really bad latly, (sounds almost like a subaru ) and it does it from the moment i start it and it will not idle, loss of a lot of power...if anyone knows what it could be like distributor, coolant temp sens. or something i dont know but any advice would be helpful

mmm, good old ze sputter...

if you do a full tune up, sparks, o2, whatever...
I would then check the distributor and make sure you're getting spark... and the TPS. My tps effed the whole car up :(
Also it could be injectors. I've had a bad run-in with some bad injectors.

Could be a vacuum leak at the air intake. Number one cause of MX-3 idle issues...
