The car seems to stutter a lot when accelerating. Its almost as if the engine simply cuts out for a brief second then resumes then cuts out again. This provides for very slow acceleration and it only seems to happen at low RPM's. I replaced the air filter, the plug wires and the plugs, but this doesn't seem to have helped. Fuel filter will be the next path I guess, but any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Do the fuel filter and check for any vacuum leaks, also get a scan done to check for any unresolved fault codes, you don't always get a check light with all codes, start here.
