I am not a car buff by any means.... yesterday, it was poring rain, i drove to work fine, i will admit, i am always heavy on the gas.. racing the rpms through 1,2,3, gear.. no problems anyway.. i leave work.. 8 hours later.. and i get this sputtering when i floor it.. now.. usually the car picks up and goes.. but the acceleration stops, and it almost jerks the car back and forth.. .. i had my friend drive it and he said.. one of or more than one of my cylinders is most likley misfiring..

i took my ignition wires off the sparkplugs today.. and third plug from the distributor was moist.. it smelled of water and oil mixed.. so i sprayed all of the inside with 99% alcohol that i get from work so it evaporates fast and kills any water..

still have the same problem.. didn’t do anything.. i regularly use fuel cleaner and FI cleaner..

i guess i am going to try replacing the cables from the distributor to the sparkplugs and changing the distributor cap.. the spark plugs are a few months old.. so i doubt they are the issue..

i may add.. when i fly the rpms way up.. without the car being in gear, it usually does not bogg down, it has a few times.. but not much..

a month or so ago i had a new catalytic converter installed.. i have yet to ever replace the fuel filter.. so im going to eventually get around to doing that.. i just dont know where it is and how to go about doing it.. so any help with that would be great to..

anyone with some incite, i would greatly appreciate it.. because well.. as u know, being young, usually means that the cash flow is limited.. so i dont have fancy equipment or anything like that.. so simple things that are cheep and most likely the problem would be nice..

if worst comes to worst.. and i have to drop a lot of money.. so be it..

Welcome to the AF!

This is not a fuel problem (most likely). Use Toyota wires, and replace the distributor cap and rotor. That is probably as far as you have to go. Check back.

ok thanks. .but what is the rotor.. i can google it but im thinking i will understand it better if you explain to me what it is.. thanks

Rotor is spinning contact under distributor cap
