What could be wrong with my vehicle? When I am traveling at low speed, around 30 mph at appx 1500 rpms, my car will act as if it is missing. Almost like it is sputtering. When I am at high speed, around 70 mph at appx 2000 rpms, it runs just fine. I have been told several things from it needs a tune up to condensation in the gas tank to an oxygen sensor. Any advice before I spend a lot of money? Thank you.

Hi billymac here. Well I know you have heard tune up and if you have not done that recently. Anywhere you take it for repairs this is something the tech will want to do. And it sounds like a classic 2nd ignition system prob. If it came to my shop I would scan it and then scope and these test would pinpoint the prob however it may be cheaper just to do the tune if it fixes the prob great if not atleast it will be easier and cheaper to find. Sorry can, t tell you more billymac

Thank you for your help. I know a local mechanic that can run a diagnostic on it. I think from your advice that would be my best bet.
