Engine problem
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Front Wheel Drive Manual 149000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I accelerate from a stop the car most of the times accelerates fine. However if I am doing 35-40 mph and jump on it, it sputters while accelerating. I have installed a fuel filter, the spark plugs are pretty new, and I just installed a high performance coil. Still sputters. Can you give me a few more things I might check?

EGR LOCATION
left of rear engine 2.0 none turbo

make sure that your problem is from the engine and not the tranny that giving you the hesitation
check fuel pressure and fuel flow
and MAF sensor
