93 3vz intermittent sputter (hesistation)
hey,
have had these intermittent problems with sputtering, hesistation whatever you want to call it. I thought it might be the MAF meter, and I unscrewed the plug and caused another problem. I got that all soldered together and got back to the sputtering problem. I found the #6 spark plug cracked, so i replaced it and all was good. Then it started again, i replaced the remainder of the plugs all NGK, and all was good again. I also replaced the fuel filter, air filter, oil & filter, rear diff, front diff, and trans fluids. should be good to go, but one day i felt a slight, sputter. You know how you know your vehicle; that was two weeks ago. Today, it sputtered bad, while semi warm, once it got hot, it stopped. Dont know what else it could be, plug wires are fairly new, only other thing I can think of is fuel pump. There are no check engine lights. What are the symptoms of the fuel pump going out? Is it all at once, slowly?
Any suggestions?

If you haven't already, check all the rubber on your intake tube. Sometimes the bellows can crack or even burn through at the bottom from exhaust.
The cracked bellows can open randomly with bumps in the road. When this happens, you engine can stutter and if the hole gets big enough it will die.
Hopefully this is your problem, because it is pretty easy to fix even if it is hard to see.
