Sputtering and rough idle

Rough idle while driving and acceleration sluggish

  • Jim Evans Apr 07, 2014

    Dirt or water in your fuel system. I suggest you get some dry gas and put it in your gas tank.

    Also have someone check your fuel filter.

Spark plugs misfire and intake vavle is open

I believe you have separate coil packs for each spark plugs, so replace the coil packs on 3 and 4 and all the spark plugs. Not sure about the sticking valve, but knock out first problem, then tackle 2nd problem.

2006 Dodge Caravan Sputtering. Code says EGR Valve. Would an EGR valve cause the van to sputter and run rough?

Absolutely. You'll know if your EGR valve is stuck or malfunctioning because your car will experience symptoms like rough idle and bucking on acceleration.

2003 ford f 150 4.6 v8 and the idle went from smooth to rough also sputters and sluggish while driving check engine light is flashing.

have the vehicle scanned for error codes at autozone, its free. Post codes for more help....These engines have issues with the COPs (ignition coils-over-plugs) failing prior to 80k miles. When they fail typical problems are: Sputtering under load/acceleration, rough idle, random misfires, random stalling, light or heavy jerking under load (usually at 15-35mph and 45-65mph)..hopefully this helps!!

I have a 1994 mercury villager and its beginning to sputter.. it will only sputter when its in drive .. the idling is rough like it wants to stall out but wont and when you step on the gas it is sluggish...

ford and mercury v6s are known for bad coil packs a visual inspection will show cracking in the case and rust showing through if the converter is cloggged it will be much much hotter in front of the converter than the back

High idle and running a little rough, sluggish in 2006 sequoia

Check the throttle body and see if it has build up around the butterfly. If so, clean the butterfly with throttle body cleaner. This may be it. There are other possibilities but this is a simple inspection.
