Car sputters every once in awhile while driving as well as when stopped
My car is a ford escape V6 3.0 liter 2003
Every so often when i'm driving the car will do this sputtering motion(around 30-40 MPH) as well as when i'm stopped.
I recently replaced all the spark plugs and seals for many different things (valve cover gaskets, air intake, spark plug seals, air intake and exaust) to see if that would fix the problem (But nope didn't change) it still sputters. Any idea what it could be?
I replaced all of those things because the engine made a burning smell (oil) but thats a completely different question(unless someone can help… Like i said. Replaced all those things. Still makes burning smell. But i figure thats the residue. I've only driven it like 20 miles and still making burning smell. Do i just drive longer?)
Have you tried gas treatment?
Um
- Is getting a lot of miles on a car actually bad for the car if the car is well taken care of? Back story: I have been using my car to visit a guy who lives about an hour away from me, and my mother has said that I "don't need to be putting all those miles" on my car. It is a well-taken care of Ford mustang with about 125,000 miles on it, and I have not noticed any issues at all. Cars are meant to be driven, in my mind. Is putting mileage on a care actually a bad thing, or is mother probably pulling an overprotective mother of an adult child?
- Headlights, instrument cluster lights, tail lights, and dome light all stopped working at once? 1995 Mustang GT convertible, fuses are good, switch is good. I'm about to do a voltage drop test on it tomorrow but I wanted to see if you Ford guys knew something that I'm overlooking.
- Every car I get the clutch goes, am I driving bad? First car was a Peugeot 206 2004 - 68,000 miles My car now is a ford ka 2008 - 45,000 miles Is it my driving or just the cars? Also how long before the clutch goes? It is rattling when I press on the clutch and also the gears were slipping and hard to get into today.
- I was driving the car, it stopped, the Radio, the AC, the lights, for seconds and worked again? The car Ford Expidition 2004 this accident occurred 5 times every thing stopped and returned in seconds Many thanks I tried to fix the battery wires I will visit the dealer tomorrow I will let you all know about it
