Toyota Repair: sputters when accelerating from stop, spark plug wires, intake hoses


Question
Hi Ted,

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

My Camry sputters when I try to accelerate from a stop. It is more pronounced the more gas I give it.

What kind of repair do you think it might be?

Thanks again, very much

Mike  

Answer
Without more specific information I can only give a generic answer, it sounds like it's an electrical misfire which could be remedied by replacing the spark plugs, the spark plug wires and the distributor cap and rotor. It could also be an air intake leak on the intake hoses from the throttle body to the air filter, there could be cracks in the hoses which can cause a stumble on accelleration, is there a check engine light on?
