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.
Yes
A 1990 Cutlass Ciera might hesitate and sputter when the gas pedal is depressed because of water in the fuel or because of damaged or dirty fuel injectors. You might also have an issue with the wiring or the distributor.
you may need a complete tune-up & change fuel filter
Check the catalytic converter for leaks.
It could be numerous things. From a bad fuel pump, for bad spark plugs.
Because you bought the 1.6. Get a 2.0D and the problem will go away.
egr valve may be clogged or bent. where do i find the egr valve on my 93 Saturn sc2?
Most common cause would be the plus wires. Dampness causes them to arc and the cylinder that the wire is arcing on won't fire causing a miss/sputter.
Could be a bad ignition coil Have vehicle scanned to see if problem has set any codes
Bad ignition coil will cause engine to sputter and hesitate on acceleration.
A faulty muffler will not cause this but a clogged catalytic converter will.
