HOW TOO FIX A SPUTTERING PROBLEM ON MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD
RESPONSE
A sputtering problem may occur when the engine is lacking in fuel or spark. It can also occur when there is a restriction in the exhaust system including but not limited to the EGR valve. The most common reason would be from lack of ignition spark or faulty ignition spark. This may be from failing spark plugs, plug wires or distributor components. A good place to start would be with a good tune up.
However the fuel may be the issue at hand. If the fuel is contaminated the engine has a hard time operating with out causing a sputtering problem. Replacing the fuel or trying to use a higher octane fuel from a different station may be the best course of action.
