How about when you are low on fuel and you gun it or go hard around a corner?
Does it surge really bad or a sharp miss?

I will let u no wen I'm nearlly empty I havnt noticed it yet. It really doesn't do it much wen ya doin under 60 even on a hill. But wen ur doin 90 to 100 any movement in yr accelerator makes it jump around and wen ya ya hit an incline

im having the same issues and i know that my fuel pump needs replacing... when i go hard right around a corner my car stalls. this could also be contributing to the spluttering issues that i have when going hard on power? cheers

Hey

Hey mate I put in a 13 dollar bottle of fuel injector cleaner into a empty tank than filled up wit vortex 98 that was last nite .I've driven it 4 times since and it has felt remarkably better each drive. Try that and see how it goes I'm convinced it's either injectors or pump mine isn't stallin at all tho so we could ave diffrent problems but yeah even on hills mine is runnin alot better sputters a bit but seems to get thru it lot quiker hopin it only gets better wit each drive I will keep ya posted mate!!

if automatic it could be your torque converter if so goto a transmission specialist or it could just be your fuel pump
