Bonneville that sputters with acceleration

1995 bonneville. slow speed seems fine. above 40 mph the car will sputter mainly at acceleration. If I do stomp it, it will pick up after down shifting. i've changed the fuel filter w/o improvement. i've changed the air filter w/o improvement. i've added HEET and Lucas injector cleaner fluid to the gas tank and 150 miles later still no improvement. i was going to tackle the fuel pressure regulator/vacuum system next. any better solutions?

    I checked fuel pressure and it was AOK. I changed the spark plug wires and that solved the problem. Problem solved.

Why does my 1998 sebring idle fine but sputter badly under load.

Does it use spark plug wires or individual ignition coils for the each plug?. My 98 intrepid uses coils and occasionally I have to change them out cause it would start to miss when normal temperature was achieved. If it uses wires, try replacing them, along with the spark plugs.

My 1992 SE sputters when accelerating and sometimes stalls out

It is a clear case of the fuel pump malfunctioning. As not enough fuel is being pumped when accelerating, the engine sputters and stalls. The pump could be needing servicing. Nothing serious. Happens. So, please have it serviced.

1995 pontiac bonneville stalls

I just went through lots of troubleshooting and expense on my 1996. Whenever I would lift my foot off the accelerator and was below about 30 mph, the rpm's would starts jumping around and sometimes it would stall. If I gave it a little gas (accelerator), I could sometimes keep it running. It also backfired once in a while. Starts right back up. Also, if I let it idle while in part, it would die after 1-2 minutes.

I ended up finding a hole in the fuel regulator. About a ~$70 part if you get an AC Delco, but very simple to change.
