Sputtering and kicking and screaming...
 
Well not screaming, but I had a slight sputter for a while when accelerating. I let it go for about a year. I went to a "junk yard" and got a used fuel pump. I had already changed out the plugs, wires, coils, but it still kept doing it.
Changed pump, it got worse. Now I have done it. I put the old pump back in and it was still worse. I could drive up to about 60 MPH, then it would start to hesitate and sputter until i got past 65.
I tried the ole' brake aprts cleaner on the Mass Airflow Sensor...no work!
I went and bought a new Mass Airflow sensor and it is now running awesome. just a little piece of crap sensor.
Just in case you see something like this.
