To beat a dead horse

[Electrophil]

I've recently developed a "splutter" at idle. At stop lights, it will almost die intermitttently. At 2/3 to 3/4 throttle, it's acting as if it's flooding. The temperature of the engine has no effect on it, but it does seem to clear up about 1 out of 4 times of applying throttle.

What are the 4 major reasons other owners have dealt with this.

I know I could do a search on this, but the reasons were overwhelming. What are the top 4?

To clarify, I never give the car full throttle, cause the tranny has almost 160k on it, and I'm trying to milk it out.

even if your cel is not on check the codes and see if it has anything in its memory
