2007 cadillac cts sputtering at slower speeds as well as surging

Car starts fine, but once in gear it begins to sputter as if it were going to shut down any minute. Also, seems to surge at different times as well.

SOURCE: speedometer surging. actual speed 40 mph,

Its a loose connection on the speedo cable. its a b*tch to get to. I had the same problem on my truck, it would fluctuate in 5th gear on the highway. i spent the money and had a professional do it.

Intermittent rough idle

Possible dirty throttle body/plate. Start at the parts store and get Throttle body cleaner. While you are there get some Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner (both very specific and should not be interchanged) and clean them both. Good idea to clean these from time to time. I do this as part of my fall routine...new air filter, oil change, wiper blades.

Engine sputters when accelerating

The flashing light means the problem is serious enough to cause damage to the catalytic converter. Have the computer scanned for trouble codes to proceed. And get the plugs replaced.

What causes sputtering at low speeds?

Sputtering. What do you mean by that? Lack of power, a specific noise your hearing?

When i accelerate my 1987 rx7 which is fuel injected starts to sputter and at times shuts off what could be the mal function?

Too many things it could be with a burn car. It is very hard to give a proper diagnostic evaluation without being able to put your hands on the vehicle. You probably still have some sensor or component issues. I recommend you download the FSM at http://foxed.ca/
That will give you the diagnostic procedure.

My topaz has a sputtering problem! starts fine, idles fine, and switches gears fine! now it is fine when going like in first gear but when it switches then it sputters having hard time to go then at the...

Here is what I would do I would get carb cleaner and clean the carberator really good and depending on what happend there I would get a set of hotter burning spark plugs after carb cleaned then I would see if it still makes sputter and then all I could think of from there would be taking the car in to see if there is new updates that can be downloaded on the computer of the vehicle I once had a problem like that and got computer updates and worked like a dream after words they can usually be downloaded at the dealer ship but they charge for the updates and you should ask if there is any first but in the end when I did that problems solved better gas milage and smoother running engine

My 2007 Cadillac SRX feels like it needs a tune up. It runs so rough and misses & sputters. Driving at low speeds it barely moves. Yet the check engine light isn't on. The car only has 67000 miles...

First when was last tune up? that's a place to start. But for the sputter/miss sounds like a case of moisture/condensation in your fuel. Not necessarily bad gas but with big temp swings moisture and condensation build up. Try running a bottle of STP gas treatment through and see if that helps.

Car has new plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, also water pump. Sputters badly when you take off, continues to sputter until higher speed is reached. Also surges occassionally when idling. Fuel pressure...

to me it sounds like your just about to put water down your exhaust mate or your rings are binding up. I recon dump your oil and run diesel oil from now on and reset your timing belt before those new spark plugs end up in your lap.
