    help! engine sputtering

    A week or 2 ago my engine started to sputter at idle. The problem seems to be getting worse. Ive recently adjusted the valves, changed the trans fluid, and cleaned the throttle body with some CRC throttle body cleaner. I have also had both the alternator and distributor replaced within the last few months. Whats wrong with my car?

          any check engine codes? check vacumn line number 21 on the throttle body. it connects to the MAP sensor. if that comes off then u will get mad sputtering...

          check all vacumn lines especially that goes to that vacumn control box.
          What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

          You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
