Hello all
Newb here, and have some issues with my wifes Ex. It has had a sputter at hard acceleration for some time now, first noticed about a year ago and I played it off as being bad or clogged injectors that I will replace soon enough. So now I have done some research and the car has developed more issues since. now under regular acceleration it is not a smooth acceleration, and the sputter or flat spot has worsened and happens nearly everytime you press the throttle from a stop or roll past halfway it will sputter and then accelerate like normal.
So i a borrowing a friends scantool and have some questions.
The spark advance at idle is around 19-25 degrees which seems a little high to me but I may be wrong, also under heavy acceleration the spark adv drops to -.5 to -1 then advances like normal up to 38-42 degrees.
What would cause this?
