Sputtering problem
« on: February 13, 2014, 07:21:18 pm »
So today I got back to the shop after work let the car warm up everything was fine idle was good water temp was where it should be so I pulled out of the parking lot and as I was shifting from second to 3rd and it was sputtering and now it's only doing it from 1st to 2nd I don't really know what it could be I was thinking fuel pump maybe any input?

If you have issues or your car is taped together.
It would probably be a good idea to fix all the obvious shit before you come on here asking people to guess what's wrong when you know shits not right.
My cars overheating and ideas?
I don't have water or coolant in it but I don't drive that far.

You haven't roofed for 11 years apparently.
I have just been on here so long it gets old with people asking silly questions.
If your cars not in good shape fix it. If you don't know how do a couple roofs and pay Brett to do it for you.
