    Hi all,

    I just bought a 94 Saturn SW2 and it runs great except that I noticed
    that it sputters (like it is getting differing amounts of gas) when I
    have light pressure on the accelerator. When I am coasting it is fine,
    and when I give it moderate to heavy accelerator pressure, it runs
    smooth and fine, but when I am trying to maintain speed, it is
    sputtery. I have no maintainance history for the car, so I am changing
    the oil, fuel filter, air filter and PCV valve. Has anyone had this
    problem or knows specifically what it is? It is a 5-speed manual, and
    it doesn't matter what gear I am in except that I sem to feel it more
    in the lower gears.

    Thank you!

    Gary

    My '96 SL2 was doing the same thing. A fresh set of plugs and a new
    air filter took care of it.

    Probably an ignition problem (spark plugs, plug wires, possibly ignition
    module)..
