Hello all! I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the problem is or any suggestions! I have a 93 ford taurus. I will do my best to explain what happens. When I first start up the car (starts fine), and if I go to drive it right away, when I give it gas, the car sputters and will hardly move forward. It wants to stall rather than drive. Never completly stalled. This happens when the gas pedal is pressed. And the farther I press it, the worse the sputtering gets. Now if I go out to the car and start it up, if I let it run for about 10 mins, it will do fine for a while. For the majority of the time the car runs good. But like if im driving down a long road at a constant speed, it will also do this. Like after holding the gas down driving for about 5-7 minutes, it will lose forward driving and sputter insted of driving forward, unless I release the gas petal for about 5 seconds than ingauge it again, than it will kick back in and drive for a while. Anyone who has the answer or thinks they can help, please respond. Thank you!

was it scanned for codes
is it due for tune up did you check it for tune up
