12/6/07 After driving about 15-20 minutes the engine begins sputtering. I replaced the spark plugs and fuel filter a couple weeks ago. Yesturday I replaced the spark plug wires. The problem doesn't really occur if you give it a lot of gas. Usually I have to push in the clutch and rev it up a bit. Then it sounds like it has been cleaned out. After just a couple seconds though it starts sputtering again.

Is or has the check engine light been on? Need to get it hot and check the quality of the spark. Has the oxygen sensor ever been replaced? At that mileage it should have one installed as a maintenance item
