I'm sure that there are many correct answers to this question.
Sputtering usually happens when there is a lack of fuel or spark when the engine attempts combustion.
Many things can cause an engine to sputter, however "sputtering during acceleration only" is often due to a lack of or an incorrect timing of spark. I suggest you have your spark plugs or coil pack checked. I'd guess that there's a better than 50% chance of that being the problem. If that isn't it, my #2 choice would be that you need a new fuel filter because when you accelerate the engine is trying to draw extra fuel and the fuel filter is limiting the flow of gas.
You will likely only be able to know for certain by taking it to a mechanic. I hope it's only the fuel filter. They are very inexpensive compared to a whole set of spark plugs or worse, a whole coil pack.
What else can I help you with?
Car shakes when you accelerate hard what could be the problem?
If it only happens when you accelerate the most likely cause is an axle.
Can you give me a sentence with sputter?
I expect the motor to sputter to life any second, now... The clerk was so exasperated, he could only sputter.
You have an 03 Monte Carlo the heater only works when you accelerate what could cause this?
Maybe low coolant level
Why does your 04 navigator sputter only when you accelerate quickly but then goes away when you let off the gas?
your wheels have a censor built on the wheel bearing. the sensor could be going bad or the wheel bearing is also. if the abs light on is a sign of a wheel bearing.
How do you stop a faucet from sputtering?
Often a faucet will sputter if there is air in the lines. This happens if the water has been turned off and then on again. If this is the cause, it is only necessary to run the water a while and the air will get out of the lines, and the sputtering will stop.
What could cause a car to sputter and eventually backfire at high rpms only in 3rd 4th and 5th gear but not in 1st or 2nd?
It sounds like fuel starved. Try the fuel filter or the fuel pump.
Can 87 octane in a 1998 gtp make it hesitate when you accelerate and I noticed it was only when the boost is activated?
You need to use premium fuel, the fuel u are using can cause predetonation, and cause knock. Which will ruin your engine
Why would a Chevrolet Cavalier shut itself off while driving?
if it tends to sputter and have no power i would suggest the fuel pump. it it is only after the car has warmed up, or a while after you start driving it might be the ignition module.
Why does my 1992 Ram 150 sputter only when it is in gear and at lower RPMs?
Fault in the Crankshaft position sensor
Is it ok if falling objects are not exactly 9.8?
Objects in freefall only accelerate at 9.8m/s2 if air resistance is ignored. Because friction will gradually cause a falling object to reach terminal velocity, most objects won't accelerate at exactly 9.8m/s2.
What can cause sputtering in a 2002 ford explorer?
My 2002 V6 XLT started to sputter after driving to the parts store. I could feel and hear the idle was off and when I would push down on the accelerator I could feel the sputter struggle of the engine. Also when I drove it home it would sputter while stopped at lights and accelerating. I ended up cleaning my MAF also looked at changing the coil, but I wanted to check my plug wires and found a leak in #3 plug wire where I had a P0303 code (#3 cylinder misfire). I changed my plug wires for $35 (Napa) and it runs great! I wanted to add a picture of where the leak is on the old #3 plug wire, it was about 7in from plug boot, it is the only abnormal color on the wire.
Are the forces on a see saw balanced?
Only if both ends are at the same height. If a resultant force is more on one side than on the other side, then that will cause the side with the higher resultant to accelerate downwards or upwards, depending on the direction of the resultant force. The forces would be unbalanced in that system.
