- Faulty spark plugs: If the spark plugs are worn or damaged, they can cause the engine to misfire, resulting in a stuttering sensation when you press the gas.
- Dirty fuel injectors: Dirty fuel injectors can cause the engine to run lean, which can lead to stuttering when you press the gas.
- Failing ignition coils: Bad Ignition Coils can cause misfires, leading to the shaking and stuttering of the car, especially while idling or accelerating.
- Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, leading to a stumble or hesitation when you press the gas.
- Clogged fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing the engine to run lean and stutter when you press the gas.
- Faulty oxygen sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor can cause the engine to run rich or lean, both of which can cause the engine to stutter when you press the gas.
