Sluggish 190e 2.6

When I step on the gas, it is unresponsive. It sputters until I floor it then it seems to react normally. Any ideas?

Quite similar to what I am experiencing. I posted a couple days ago, but have received no answers either.

I am thinking idle control valve, plug wires, 02 sensor, injectors, fuel filter?

Good luck

your car starts in 2nd gear I beleive. So, its going to be slow off the line. or is this a new thing?


If its new maybe its a dirt spark plug or a wire going bad

Need some more info here please. Like miles, last time tun-up was done, if the right plugs were used, what the cap and rotor look like, what gas do you use(Octane), last time fuel filter was done, O2 sensor readings, mixture readings, status of OVP relay? These things need to be looked at.
