ok i just bought this 1990 galant (single overhead cam) dont really know much about it ecept that is is really clean but anyways.............my car is kinda like sputtering when its ideling and if you dont give it at least half the gas peddle (while driving) then it wants to like pull aginst its self if you know what i mean please help this car is bad ***

 

check for vacuum leaks and check the idle asjust screw

 

i had a crack in the pipe leading from my MAFS to my TB and it was getting unmetered air, causing the same condition.

 

ok ill check all of those things and hopefully it will run better ill let you kno how it works out and thanks for the help ........

 

I had the same thing before my motor went on me with my eclipse... Is the check engine light on? If so take it in right away... But otherwise it could be something to do with the fuel pump or the injectors... That can be so many things... the Idle speed might need to be adjusted too... Could be something simple and inexpensive... [:-]

 

The check engine light is only on when you first start the car up for like 10-15 seconds then it goes off and wont come back on.... some one also told me that the ignition timming might be off a little bit to could that cause this to happen?

 

I dont think that would have anything to do with it... I could be wrong tho.. If your check engine light doesnt stay on then there wont be any codes that are getting tripped...
