hi my 1988 toyota corolla sputters when i put it in gear and put a load on the engine. it idles just fine but when i accelerate or go up a hill it loses power. i changed the spark plugs and airfilter and it runs a lot better but still has a bit of a miss when i put it under a load.

Hi MADAHAM, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Check the fuel pressure if its within specs-if okay check and test for an excessive backpressure in the exhaust system-could be a partially clogged catalytic converter also the following-airflow meter and throttle position sensor-
