Hey all,
Not a good night. Motor started sputtering when reaching 3000 rpm. Half-way though a tank of gas. Idles fine. No odd noises. Sputters under acceleration and in park. Google has not been any help. Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible

Well, the issue has returned...
When the crankshaft wire was replaced, there were two EGR codes as well, but were ignored per advice from the garage. The garage changed the wire and the car has ran great for a month. My millage has steadily rose from 20 to 26 mpg (same driving-very strange!). Now it is sputtering again. The garage checked and the wire looks fine. They also checked and there are the same two codes for EGR issues (I did not write them down). Could it be the EGR system? Thanks! -------------------- '99 Triple Black GT Convertible
