i had this same problem with my 90 accord. check your throttle position sensor and if not check your egr valve or do a vaccuum test on the egr vaccuum. the catalytic converter could be clogged too. good luck
Try disconnection your MAF ( mass airflow sensor ) and if it doesn't sputter when you accelarate, it means your sensor is gonzo.
There could be a few causes for a car to spit and sputter on acceleration. One common cause would be the engine not getting enough fuel, so it could be a problem in the fuel line, fuel filter, or fuel pump.
No
ice in the fuel system
Check for codes... It maybe a bad coilpack. Or bad sparkplugs.
Bad ignition coil will cause engine to sputter and hesitate on acceleration.
If a car sputters when it accelerates there may be a problem with the ignition. Another option is that the timing belt is malfunctioning.
There will be an strong exothermic reaction which will flame and sputter.
I have the same problem and was told it is the fuel temperature sensor.
You need to check the fuel pump.
I expect the motor to sputter to life any second, now... The clerk was so exasperated, he could only sputter.
A lot depends on when it is sputtering. Is it hesitating under acceleration? That is what happens most commonly in eclipses. It is probably a misfire in one of the cylinders. Change your plugs and wires.
