2002 Mubishi lancer - car sputtering when changing gears

sputters in the context if engine, means MISFIRING, is it?

for a transmission, they dont sputter. sorry

but can jerk, or snatch, (being caused by gears engaging way to late)

(aka, harsh shifting) the opposite of slip

but it can slip then engage, causes a jerk. or harsh shifting.

see?

they do 100 things wrong, mostly never to sputter.

they don\'t shift up or down

they slip. (bad tranny)

if engine sputters, its tune up time, (posted like 10,000 times here)

if the transmission has issues, have real mech test it and tell you

all the symptoms, and possible ideas.

why not?

the A/T is a very very complex electro /mechanical device.



sputter is a word best for engines. like chain saw with a bad spark plug it sputters along and stalls.

does your car stall?

Check fuel pressure. has fuel filter ever been changed ?

glog converter

Plugged Fuel System

try changing the spark plugs , this usually cause this problem if this doesn't work check the plug to see if it has oil on the end that goes into the engine if this happens then you need to rebuild the engine, good luck.

i have an 86 dodge ram 50 that sputters when i step on gas going up hill after it warms up ive changed the gasket twice with no luck solving problem it runs fine in neutral but in gear under a load it sputters

have the fuel pressure checked

Only 1000-2000 RPM? Does it do that in any gear?

has the fuel filter been changed ? if not it is time to change it reguardless . and tune up? this sounds like a fuel filter change it and see what happens also if no tune up and air filter then it is time to have that done as well.

My Lancer was doing the same thing and i had a tune-up and got a new catalytic converter but it was my ignition coil that was bad. Maybe this can help you.
