If a car sputters when it accelerates there may be a problem with the ignition. Another option is that the timing belt is malfunctioning.

Can a bad distributor make your car sputter?

Yes, a bad distributor can cause your car to sputter. The distributor is responsible for directing electrical current to the engine's spark plugs at the correct timing. If it's malfunctioning due to wear, corrosion, or damage, it can lead to inconsistent spark delivery, resulting in misfires, poor acceleration, and sputtering while driving.
