Car stutters
My 95 t-bird has started to "stutter" when driving along at about 40mph. Just coasting along and easing into the throttle the car starts to buck and then goes away. I'm thinking maybe bad fuel or maybe fuel filter. Thanks in advance.....JR

No, no light....Car runs great except when lugging anlong or going up a hill. Doesn't matter if it's in 3rd or overdrive..It happens and then stops as soon as you give it a little throttle.....Maybe bad gas, or fuel filter???
I don't think it's the tranny, there are no noises....thanks, JR

Pull the codes. There won't necessarily be a MIL lit.

Re: Car stutters
Let me guess.. it feels like running over a bunch of metal strips?? I think you mean SHUDDER. Sounds like you need a COMPLETE transmission flush..and flush the torque converter also. Refill with mercon V/5. This is most likely the problem, i think.

Stutters
I have a 97 that did that. I dropped the transmission pan and found a part laying in it. The part was a plug that is installed from the factory to keep debris out during manufacture. The last step they take is to put the dipstick in which pushes the plug into the pan. I removed the plug and changed the trans oil and the stuttering went away.

Re: Car stutters
i agree w/ solaris.. I had the same thing right when I bought mine... I made ford flush and refill my tranny and torque converter, and give me new motor mounts and a tune up all for free... just takes a little persuaion, hehe.. but I think they turned on my check engine light just so id have to go back and pay them to turn it off... jerks.. oh well i just took my check engine light out
