When my car sits for most of the day and then i go to drive it will sputter for 15-20 min. Ive changed the fuel filter.. Anyone have this happen before? its driving me nuts!!

 

Hmm. clean your MAF?

 

I sure did.

 

Has this been happening for awhile? Or just recently?

 

Clean your IAC?

 

its been doing this for a month or so now.


I did that to.

 

Have you checked your injectors? I've heard that problems with the EGR valve could cause sputtering too, so might look into checking that out also if you haven't already.

EDIT: Is it throwing any codes? I just got thinking that if it were an injector it'd likely throw a code with it.

 

I've had this problem as well, but I can't think of how I fixed it. I know when I first start up the car, if I don't let it warm up it will do it only for a feel though. I just put more gas into it and then it stops after a few.

Maybe you should reset the computer?

 

im not sure, my enigine light has been on for awhile cause i dont have rear o2s.
Im going to advance in the morning and see what they can pull up.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to think it might be a clogged injector..Let us know what advance says.

 

Check the plugs. Mine would be terrible until the engine switched to closed loop. New plugs fixed the problem for me.

 

I changed the plugs and still did the same thing.

 

went to advancde and it turned out the be the MAF. Cleaned it good this time and now its running fine.

 

Note to self - Don't let Anthony clean anything related to the well-being of a car ever again. lol.

 

I should of told you that, because that was my problem, along with a bunch of other things. But I used to clean my MAF like WAY TO MUCH and then I would reset the computer.

Glad it's fixed.

 

ha ha not cool!
