The fixes start with air filter ensure that it is not plugged or clogged with dirt. In older vehicles ensure the oil crankcase filter in the air filter housing is clear. Also check the PCV valve for proper use.
Spark plugs and wires.
-Ensure proper gaping of the plugs in many cars this is available on the stickers under the hood or in the owners manual. Otherwise see maintenance manual for gaping.
If these do not fix your problem the next thing to check would in many cases be the coil pack or coil. In many cases if the coil is shorting out even in just one cylinder it will cause problems with acceleration and uphill travel.
Changing your fuel filter is also another item you could try in many cases it can be done in your driveway. * Be sure to put a catch pan under the filter to catch fluids Also be sure to release the pressure in the injectors at the release point on many injector assemblies.
Barring these easier fixes check with your local mechanic to have him check things such as transmissions, clutches, emissions, cylinder compression or restricted exhaust systems.

When you are accelerating and your vehicle is sputtering, it is usually a misfire in the engine. Meaning one of your spark plugs or wires is malfunctioning. A simple tune up will fix this problem. Sputtering caused by a misfire is usually accompanied by a jerking of the vehicle when Idle. IF you are at a stop sign and you let go of the brakes, your vehicle will start jerking forward on its own without pressing the gas. try a tune up.
If your iPod will not turn on try one of two things. First try charging it before you power it on. If it does not have enough power it will not be able to power on. If that does not work try plugging it into your PC and restoring its original factory settings.
I had a similar problem. It was a coil pack. They are about 80 bucks. Fairly easy to fix. If you know how to change a Spark Plug, you should be able to change a coil pack.
The Sputtering tends to be a old or clogged fuel filter the engine is getting starved of fuel replace that and it should fix the problem
I have a 2001 Monte Carlo and mine started sputtering. It took me about a month to fix it but all I needed was a tune up....but all I did basically is change the spark plugs and wires out and now it runs great
