try pouring a whole 10$ bottle of lucus fuel injector cleaner in your full tank, if the stuttering disappears then its the injectors- will most likely come back after next fillup. it can also be your egr valve stuck open, try disconnecting the vacuum line to the top of the valve and see if you notice a difference. also have you messed with your tps sensor recently?

do a search on the "fuel pump ecu", located behind the REAR passenger, drivers side, side panel, right below the rear side window. these have been known to go south after many miles/years.

we already tried the 12v mod with no success..TPS voltage and position has been checked, checked for vacuum leaks..ect..the car feels as if an injector is stuck and flooding a cylinder..only thing that was obvious was the harness in the drivers fender well has been chewed on previously and "patched" by the previous owner, but it needs some major attention and it needs to be moved.
