Ok....like the title said, my car is stuttering like a retard. at low RPMs and you push the gas, it starts to stutter. In say 3rd gear going down a hill around 25 or 30 mph, it also stutters. Its like when a person first learns to drive a standard and pops the clutch, how it jumps, but not as violent. what could be wrong or what should i check to see what my car's deal is?? thanks for advice in advance
 
umm, i think maybe the engine is lugging because u have it in 3rd at such a low speed. I dunno, maybe? OR is your throttle messed up.

And saying "stuttering like a retard" is dangerously un-politically correct.
 
sounds fuel or egr related to me, also check your spark plugs

no.......its not really that low in the RPMs.....it just started happening, i dont want to run around town in 2nd gear considering the speed limit is 25 through most of it


and the stuttering like a retard is to catch attention, cause i need help and quick, dont like my car acting funny
 
im shocked that you would use the trem stuttering, and retard, in the same sentance. thats very discriminatory, and hurtful. my girlfriend has a sister that is mentally handicapped, and i take great offense for the choice of your words. please, dont ever think of doing that again.

thanks ash.........i guess some people are way to sensitive. um, and the whole my g/f has a sister who is disabled, yeah, my ex g/f had a brother like that and i went to the special olympics and everything. what part of drawing attention for some quick help did ya not understand. i usually get pissed when people say something, acutally in got in a fight with my roommate when he said something about the disabled in front of her. also, i was in the nursing program and took care of disabled people and cleaned up after them. so save your breath and time and just dont comment. i have respect for them, its just a comment. so, unless you know the person and how they are acutally using it the phrase, dont comment, just try and help. i may come off as an ass, but people now a days are way to sensitive and whiny for my taste.
