Engine spitting on acceleration
Tuesday, March 03, 2015 8:11 PM
I own a 97 Chevy Cavalier 2.2. I bought the car 2 weeks ago. changed many parts and now when i accelerate from a dead stop it will sputter. Once i'm doing around 30 or so i will accelerate without any problem. Changed fuel filter and plugs. the wires were still in good condition. What else would cause this?

Tps sensors are bad in all year cavis. Could be something simple like a vacuum leak. Any engine codes ? My cavi surges under hard acceleration too. Maybe belt slipping?

figured out the main problem the plug wires were bad and i upgraded to super platinum autolite plugs. the car responds awesomely and pulls really well. had no codes and all vacuum lines are in good condition
