I apologize, I may not know the correct engine terminology...But at around 2800 to 3200 RPM's (approx. 68-72 MPH) when I let off the gas slightly my engine will "flutter". Almost like the fuel is getting cut off too quickly. I have only noticed it at high speeds. Sparkplugs are less that a year old. A new Crankshaft Positioning Sensor (I think that was name of it? Its right on top of the engine) was changed in September 2014. That actually seemed to help for a short time. It has never made my car stall, but Im afraid the problem might get worse. What could be causing this??

Thank you for the help.

scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge first auto parts rent it.
