alot of the time when i hit the gas pedal itll start going but right away start to stall....it doesnt fully shut off it just seems like theres no gas or anything going into the engine

im going to try to replace the spark plugs, wires, and filter and see if it helps

it also sputters going up hills

i had a similar problem, i would hit the gas and it would "sputter" of like 2 seconds and then finally get going. i did a full tune up and the problem went away

Hey what if you got water in your gas? I guess it happens a lot in the winter, my friend just went through that with her Toyota, she made me come out and look at it at work, LOL I told her I didn't really know any thing, hahah but it was like sputtering and having trouble staring and speeding up, she got a can of dry gas and its all chill now
