Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds autojoe User Oct 22, 2008, 10:08 AM Post #3 of 4 (1578 views) Re: engine sputtering Sign In The code will probably be code P0300....A Misfire code.If the check engine light is flashing then there is a chance that you can damage your catalytic converter by driving vehicle.Many things can cause this....anything from plug wires,faulty ignition coils,bad maf,fuel pressure,egr or injector problems.even system grounds but not very likely.It is hard to diagnose without proper testing equipment.Could do a tuneup plugs wires.Take coil packs off and look for carbon tracking and do resistance testing.Test fuel pressure with gauge.Injectors need special tools.Could get a spark tester at local auto parts and hook to each plug wire and ground to negative battery terminal and start car and see if crisp blue spark do on all plugs.The injectors are hard to test unless remove plenum and hook a noid light to each one and start and see if injector pulses.That does not tell you in injector is bad just that the circuit going to injector is bad.would need a labscope and a tool that does injector balance testing looking for roughly around the same amount of pressure drop on all injectors.Just some thoughts. autojoe User Oct 23, 2008, 10:20 AM Post #4 of 4 (1555 views) Re: engine sputtering Sign In I wanted to add the sputtering may be injector related.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
