my car sometimes seems to idle too low and chokes sometimes when accelerating,I've used fuel injector cleaner and that seemed to help some,I was told it could be the fuel filter or maybe the throttle position sensor,would you have any idea what this really is by these symptoms,Regards

Hi there ,

this could be a tune problem of dirty fuel, change fuel filter and drain oil filter into glass jar, let it sit and see if there is any water in the fuel. Check for fault codes and report any findings.
