I have a 87 na and its starting to sputter around 1k and 3k... when it is under a load and also when its at idle and when I rev it at the same place on the tach... any ideas?

thanks

my mom's old old 1980's old car used to do that, i asked around and they said the timing was off, maybe your supra's timing is off?

So, at 1,000 and 3,000 rpm it sputters?

yeah, but I think I have found the problem. It looks like a coolent hose broke open near the top of the engine and spilled coolent all over the spark plugs and wires... is there an easy way to get the water out? this is on my 87 na ( 7mge )

Maybe an Air compressor if you have access to one or a shop vac.
