SOURCE: Engine sputters when giving gas, has a hard time accelerating

Have the cam sensor and/or crankshaft sensor checked. They could be going bad.

Sounds like the coil packs are bad. Have a local parts house retrieve the codes from the check engine light. If the light is flashing it means the engine has a major malfunction in the electrical system. If the exhaust smells heave of gas fumes this is most likely your problem.

SOURCE: starts fine, when accelerator is press car will

Well, fueling is part of the many systems that you need to investigate. But hard to imagine much wrong if you idle reasonably....Do check or just replace the fuel filter.

From there, the possibilities are massive. Consider paying for a diagnostic at a local shop.

I have a'98 Volvo S40 2.0 non turbo, recently it sputter's and idles rough for sometimes 5- 20seconds then suddenly idles smooth. It only run's smooth if allowed to warm up for 5minutes including...

You may have an old engine oil, why don't you have your car service and change oil and oil filter as well. Then if the problem still appears, then that's the time to start tracing where the problem really starts.

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 91 oldsmobile 98 runs rough in idle but when driving run smooth.

Rough idle is a very common problem on 4 cylinders, but I believe the 98 Regency has a 6 cylinder in it, right?

Sometimes the coil packs get iffy, and sometimes the EGR Valve gets a leak in it causing a rough idle.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed, it can change things so that the engine seems to run smoothly.

However, I would look for codes to see if anything intermittent is occurring in the engine that may need attention.

The OBD-I scanner can help to diagnose the problem, if anything is out of specifications on the engine in question.

The owner will have to find a technician that has such a scanner.

2003 ford f 150 4.6 v8 and the idle went from smooth to rough also sputters and sluggish while driving check engine light is flashing.

have the vehicle scanned for error codes at autozone, its free. Post codes for more help....These engines have issues with the COPs (ignition coils-over-plugs) failing prior to 80k miles. When they fail typical problems are: Sputtering under load/acceleration, rough idle, random misfires, random stalling, light or heavy jerking under load (usually at 15-35mph and 45-65mph)..hopefully this helps!!

My 1998 Ford Explorer runs rough under hard acceleration

New plugs and wires?

Double check to make sure that you've got the routing and firing order right... if you have 2 switched, the car may still idle well but then pop and sputter on harder acceleration.

The next step would be to run some "Complete Fuel System Cleaner"... If that's the problem, you should see results within 20 miles or so.

After unusual below freezing weather here in california my 94 prizm is idling really rough and sputters in gear what might be the problem

Sounds like water in the gas. Colder temperatures can lead to condensation in the gas tank. Water then enters the fuel line, causing sputtering, rough idle, and occasional stalling. Try a bottle of Dri-Gas or other similar product with your next fill up. If the problem persists, you may need to change your fuel filter.
