The problem may lie with a clogged fuel injector or a spark plug that isn't sparking.
Gas mileage also went down and I just replaced o2 sensors.
could be a bad plug
not 100% sure, but check your fuel pump
your catalic conv. is done and/or o2 sencor it both happen to me
A car could sputter in the rain if the car needs new seals. There could also be a spark plug or wire that needs to be replaced.
I have just submitted this question and I wanted to let anyone who can answer this to know that I have already replaced the fuel filter, plugs and wires. My next attempt will be the catalyptic converter.
it will usually sputter or sometimes not run at all
check and see if u have a hole in your muffler
have the fuel pess. checked
1993 Ford Tempo, replaced fuel filter already and had the fuel pump tested for proper pressure. Also every now and then theres a fuel smell inside the car. The sputtering off happens sometimes when I first try to start the car, Its easily fixed by turning the key off and on a few times and it starts off smoothly
A bad fuel pump will cause your vehicle to not start or sputter and then stall. A dirty air filter can have the same symptoms.
Other posts I've seen suggest it is a weak fuel pump and went on to say it was the one in the tank that was replaced and not the one next to the fuel filter under the drivers side of the car. I will try this on my car tomorrow and see if it fixes the sputter.
