vpha21 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 While driving my vehicle sputters at steady throttle until I accelerate more. It's more noticeable in 5th gear @ 45-55mph or 4th gear @ 30-40mph. My fuel filter and spark plugs have been replaced also.
shitonthat Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 maybe you fracked something up when you broke the needle off your fuel gauge. lol (j/k) All kinds of possibilities, I'd start off small when trying to diagnose the problem yourself...my friend John had some problems like that and all he needed to do was add some fuel injector cleaner to his gas tank. He did it for about 3 full tanks and never had a problem with it again. However, if you don't see any improvement from that, you might need to dig into your fuel system.
vpha21 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Posted September 6, 2005 Do you recommend a certains brand of fuel injector cleaner
vpha21 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 I tried using the gas treatments and it didn't seem to change a thing. I did find the problem, there's a freeze plug plate with 5 10mm bolts on it underneath the fuel rail. 3 of the 4 plugs were clogged with carbon so I just took a straight pick and poked it out. That cleared it all up and the car didn't misfire again. Too bad my car caught on fire later that night due to a gas leak which I don't know how it happened because it seem to run fine after and I didn't smell any gas driving it. So if you're not comfortable with doing it take it to a professional. I didn't have full coverage on the car so I'm screwed.
