ok so like i said in the last one i just got my car back from having a new enigne put in and im still working on the swaying thing, but now the question is why is my car stuttering...i put a new battery on because i thought the old one might be the problem. That obviously didnt solve the problem or i wouldnt b here. so when i start to drive it sputters unless i have the throttle in the right position...you guys know nething? Thanx

is it a low idle? does it do this even when the engine is up to full operating temperature?

The idle is around 900rpms, and it still does it at full heat, but my radiator has a hole in it and needs to be replaced, Do you think that could be the problem?

i would think its a clutch problem...

patch the radiator first, then see if it fixes the problem.

also, does the stutter vibrate the wheel, or is like a crackling noise that you hear towards the engine?

i remember a previous car that the engine stuttered a bit from overheating... kinda like a crackling sound more so than a stutter. but as you can tell, it's hard to explain over a typed message

check your plugs maybe its a misfire if its all the way through the rpm range

it could be clutch chatter.... dont rule that out is all im saying

could possibly be the plugs, but i once had that problem and after replacing like half the engine it came out to be the fuel regulator. i would definatly check that cause mine sputtered too, and now its good

so when u look at it(if u do) check for cracks, even take it off and look it over cause that was my problem. it was on the bottom and i never seen it, LOL
