More Problems

Again my car is running like crap. It keeps stuttering when i accelerate. For everyone that doesnt remeber me having these problems before, right before it started doing this, i replacecd the oxygen sensor and the fuel filter as part of rutine maintainence. Also my SES light has not came on at all. Does anyone know what this could be?

This has been hapening to me also, a lot of people told me to take of the throttle body and clean out the IAC and to check the wiring whit a OHM meter, it may be that it has a bad wire or cloged up so it is starving for air, my main problem is at idle also.

I will have it cleaned ot tommorow and will let you know it it fixed it

Is your throttle position sensor in the right position? Mine was not and it helped quite a bit.
