1997 Ford Aspire Repair Question
Asked on February 16, 2012
Sputtering while accelerating and goin up hills and idling?
My 1997 ford aspire sputters when idling, accelerating after taking off and while going up hills. It's fine once you get a little speed. What could cause this? It's not overheating. The check engine light is on. It is need of a tune up. It still gets good gas mileage. It's a 5 speed. It shifts no problem. Would a tune up fix it, or is it something with the fuel pump/filter/injector? Or the coils in the engine? There's no leaks with anything. It hasn't died yet. Idk what the rpm's are because it doesn't have that gauge. But I can tell they go up and down. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes.

I was told the problem won't affect the driving at all but I can't remember what it was.

I took it to find out the code and it wouldn't read the car. they tried it a couple of times. We are currently replacing plugs wires distributed cap and roter pin and were going to change the fuel pump.
