    Sputtering noise from engine.

    short n sweet. whenever i let off the clutch and add gas to make my self go, my car will sputter and shake pretty badly and stall out. the only way i can get it to go is by revving my engine to 2500rpm and slowly letting off the clutch. and even than it might not work, if i do manage to get the car going i cant get it up to speed because if i accelerate my car it will sputter shake, make noises like http://youtube.com/watch?v=FVT3-FT75Ns
    exactly like that actually.

    going to try and drive it to the shop tomorrow, is there anything i should look at first?

    i already made sure the sparkplug wires were pushed in, the little cap thingies. but thats all i could see in the dark.

    mine isnt anti-lag i just used the video to show what it sounded like.

    i was also thinking, could it be water in the engine?

    MovieSTAR added 249 Minutes and 50 Seconds later...

    car was misfiring because a sparkplug shorted out on cylinder 2.
