Why does my car stutter when I let off the gas?
One of the most common causes of a sputtering engine is an issue with the vehicle’s fuel system—the filter, pump, and injectors. Since the fuel filter, pump, and injectors work together as part of one interconnected system, dirt and debris need only clog one part to cause the others to fail.
Why does my car judder at low speeds?
As well as some of the causes of car stuttering mentioned earlier, moisture in the distributor cap can also make a vehicle jerk when accelerating. If your car is parked overnight in cold temperatures, condensation can form inside the distributor cap, causing the engine to misfire when accelerating at low speeds.
Why does my car Jerk when I Turn on the gas?
A Faulty Fuel Line Fuel lines are responsible for the flow of gas throughout the engine system. If it is faulty or if there’s a leak somewhere, a pressure is lost, thus causing the car to jerk. Faulty fuel lines can even cause a fire in your engine or worse, an explosion.
Why does my car hesitate when I step on the gas?
So you step on the gas from a dead stop, and instead of smoothly getting you down the road, your car’s engine stumbles and hesitates for a moment. Or, worse yet, you try to pass someone on a two-lane road, punch the gas pedal, and there’s a brief hiccup before you start around them.
What can I do to stop my engine from sputtering?
You can use a reliable scanner that is able to read and troubleshoot the codes. You can remove the fuel filter and physically test the flow of liquid by blowing through it. A good filter should be able to have a smooth flow when air pressure passes through it. Poor fuel pressure will force the engine to run on lean fuel causing the sputter.
Why does my car sputter after filling up at the gas station?
I hear that you’re not supposed to fill up if the tankards are there filling up the underground tanks because it stirs up the sand and what not, and that sediment ends up in your car. Maybe that happened? Water condensation droplets in the tank – they sink to the bottom & get picked up by the pump.

What happens when you fill up your gas tank?
On my car (2005 Dodge Grand Caravan) when I fill up my gas tank, almost immediately afterwards pulling out of the gas station my van sputters, misses, hesitates, call it what you will. The past couple of times the engine has actually stalled as well. This is very short term. After this quick event it is then fine for the rest if the tank of gas.
