    Default car sputters

    Have a Integra LS and when it sputters sometimes, when i rev it up or when i drive on low RPMs and then give it some gas it starts to sputter and doest pull as good. what could be the problem? running rich or not enough fuel?

    i would say based on your other thread you have a cel and the o2 is causing it to over-fuel. does it smell overly rich?

    Pull the plugs out and tell/show us what they look like.

    As stated above, you have a CEL? Any codes pulled?

    you may just have a loose wire. that could be why it only happends sometimes and not all the time.
