Engine + Driveline / Car losing power/sputtering on accel.?

« on: February 15, 2012, 09:27:42 AM »

I'd check the AFM, if it's happening at a similar RPM all the time.  The sweep arm will wear out a spot on the resistor track and you'll get incorrect fuelling.

The cold start problem could be a bad return valve in the fuel pump assembly as well. Does this happen in a few hours, overnight, or after a few days?

 Happens every day. In the morning I let my car warm up so I don't notice it, but if I stop at the store and go back out to start it, it starts sputtering unless I let it idle out or high rev which I hate doing.

I've been having problems with sputtering and no power after a cold start or after just shutting the car off and starting it again. It will sometimes idle rough or start and shake the crap out of the engine, but for the most part it is on acceleration at 2000-3000rpm. Is this common and what should I look at?

Also recommend doing this so you don't have the sides all flared out and looking shitty and stuff.
