Why is my car sputtering?
Heres a long shot, check out the EGR valve it may be plugged with carbon. But first check and or clean the Mass Air Flow sensor. You can go and get a can of MAF cleaner at any auto parts store. just follow the directions on can. The fine wires may be dirty or corroded on the MAF sensor. An engine with a bad MAF sensor may be hard to start or stall after starting. It may hesitate under load, surge, idle rough or run excessively rich or lean. The most basic test is to unplug the MAF while the engine is turned off, and then start it. Most of the time it will run better without it, if the sensor has failed. Good-Day!
