Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting majorlinkcar New User Jul 22, 2024, 12:16 AM Post #1 of 5 (5525 views) Engine sputters when accelerating Sign In I have a 2004 Honda Civic (185,000 miles) that started sputtering when making quick accelerations at higher speeds a week or so ago. If I step on the gas pedal with force at 60 or 70 mph, the engine will sputter. Normal acceleration is not a problem. If I accelerate slowly, the engine is fine at high speeds. The issue arises when I accelerate quickly at 60 or 70 mph. I had the spark plugs replaced in late April, so this shouldn't be a problem. There's a small hole in my catalytic converter (first identified in late April). Based on this description of the symptoms, can anyone pinpoint some possible causes of this issue? I'd appreciate any responses, thanks.

That doesn't necessarily eliminate them. In fact it would make them more suspect. If one of the plugs was damaged during installation it could cause a problem. It's going to be pretty difficult to isolate what's going on without more testing and info. It could be an ignition problem, fuel pressure problem or even intake air problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. majorlinkcar New User Aug 23, 2024, 10:28 PM Post #3 of 5 (3518 views) Re: Engine sputters when accelerating Sign In It turns out this was caused by a leaking oil filter, thanks for the reply.

It has it's own filter that needs replacing along with the correct type of CVT transmission fluid.......guess who had to get a new transmission last year...oh well i have digressed a bit.   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
