The cause of engine stutter could lead to several things. Fuel, air and spark.

But first connect your vehicle to a computer scanner to make sure it is not a faulty sensor causing all the problems.

Most of the time, a stuttering engine is due to something wrong with the fuel system. I.E.-- Fuel pump, filter, fuel pressure regulator or a short or open on a fuel injector.

Check vacuum using a vacuum gauge. And while you are checking the wires and plugs you might as well do a compression test as well.

You must also check the spark. Is your ignition coil good? how old is it? how are the conditions of the wires (outside and connecting ends) Many times a spark plug wire will look fine and new until you touch it and it gives you the shock of your life. Spark plugs should also be checked. While checking the spark plugs

do compression test. Low compression as well as a damaged harmonic balancer can cause stutter as well.

Does it stop stuttering when you accelerate. 9/10 times it is the fuel.

So remember to do it in this order so you can save time and money.

1-scanner

2-vacuum

3-fuel pressure etc...

4- wire connections as well as plugs.

Idling for Nissan pulsar?

Idling for a Nissan Pulsar, like any vehicle, refers to the engine running while the car is stationary, typically with the transmission in "Park" or "Neutral." While idling can be necessary for warming up the engine or operating accessories, excessive idling can waste fuel and may lead to engine wear over time. It's generally recommended to limit idling to conserve fuel and reduce emissions.

Why would heater blow warm air while driving but cold air while idling and why would enigine temperature go up while idling and down when driving?

When a vehicle is idling, the engine may not produce enough heat to warm the coolant effectively, leading to cold air from the heater. In contrast, while driving, the engine works harder and generates more heat, allowing the heater to blow warm air. The engine temperature can rise while idling due to reduced airflow through the radiator and less coolant circulation, while driving increases airflow and coolant flow, helping to cool the engine.
