    Exclamation Sputtering Engine PLZ HELP!!!

    Hey Guys...

    I remember many months ago, when I first joined this forum. My Accord had 325,000km on her, she ran like a bird. Now a days, with 365,000km things really change I guess. I now have this constant problem of sputtering engine. What it feels like to me is, either 1 of many things.... Fuel pump is gone, spark plugs are shot, O2 sensor is gone, or carb problems.... Whenever I accelerate *or try to* the car seems to chug like its struggling to get gas to the engine or the spark is misfiring. I thought for a while it was the plugs, so I put new ones in, didnt do a thing. I've tried my best to tell you the symptoms, so if ne1 of you hasve had a problem like this please let me know how to fix it.

    Peace

    check your fuel filters and spark plugs. Also, it could be bad gas that you got. I've noticed that some cars dont run well on certain brands of gas.

    spatering can be traced to Ignition.
    Start with spark plugs, spark plug wires, distirbutor, and distributor rotor.
    if that doesn't help you may have bad ignitor. You may want to get new distributor in this case.

    Okay great I'll try those things. I do get cheap gas although the recommended (in owners manual) is 91 octane so I can start with that. Thanks a chunk for the suggestions guys
