I just bought a town car a few weeks ago, and sometimes when im driving, as I accelerate, the car sputters real bad. When this happens I let off the accelerator, and then again apply it and it stops. Also in the morning when I start the car, for the first 10 minutes or so, it accelerates SO slow its rediculous. Is this a transmission problem? Does the car just need a tune up?

My mother has the same car. Having the EXACT same
problem, we even use the 10 minute warm up cycle. Was wondering if you had pinpointed the problem on your car and maybe you could give me some direction of where to start?

Thanks!
Bob
