the car ran perfect until about a month ago when it started spitting and sputtering. it will spit and sputter until you get about 60-65 miles and hour i think it has something to do with the electrical system with the transmission

i have given the car a minor tune up new spark plugs - wires, a new Egr valve, and lots of new sensors $$$ , i also rerun some old dry rotted wires it seems all i do is put money in the car but it is a good one when it does run
