tonkkids Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 My 1994 LX started spitting & sputtering through the exhaust. It seems as though it is starving for gas. Here is what I have checked and replaced: Replaced: Fuel Filter Coil Distributor Main Relay Checked the Fuel Pump Fuel pressure good Ran STP injector cleaner through the tank Ran SeaFoam through the vacuum lines Car does fine when cool and when coasting When it is up to operating temp and when you go uphill and when you give it some gas, it acts like it is starving. Just spits and hesitates. Dont want to go. Any help is greatly appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If exhaust is stock, or muffler is really old, it could be falling apart internally and restricting flow. Same with cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
