Hey Guys I'm New Here But have A 1996 240sx SE, it Has 157,101 Miles On It And I Just Did a Tune Up. I Replaced The Fuel Filter, Plugs And Wires, Distributer Cap and Changed the Oil....But I'm Noticing A Slight Stuttering In the Throttle, When I Run The Car Sometimes It Starts Bogging And Stuttering For a Second But Then After It's Fine. Do You Guys Think The Fuel Injectors Need Cleaning? Let Me Know Thanks.

Did you purge the fuel sysem of air, after changing the filter? Gap the plugs?

does it only do it after the motor warms up and/or drive it for more than 5 min? I've prob got the same issue. I posted it in the tech forum and even included a vid today.

take a look at mine & see if it's the same issuehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHa2PhKNu-U

It Happens After The Car Is Warm And It's Similar To Your Problem But It Stutters When I'm Accelerating....But Only Sometimes.

I've Been Told It Could Be The Oxygen Sensor But I Don't Know.....I Put Fuel Injector Cleaner In The Car Today Maybe That Might Help.

Let's see...... I've replaced the fuel pump, front o2 sensor, throttle position sensor, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor button, wires, pcv valve ( a PITA) and fuel filter. I've cleaned the mass air flow sensor, air intake temp sensor, throttle body, seafoamed and injector cleaner. I even changed out the ECM. I can't find a solution

did you guys check for cracks at the ends of the wires??one of mine is cracked and and it had a slight leak of fuel...maybe this. But i have a feeling it could be the valves also, but im only slightly educated in the top end of motors.-Arash

I dont feel like reading your post but judging from your title a stuttering throttle is almost always a bad ground.

My 14 does the same thing. I went to Auto Zone and got them to run a free func check on it cause my engine light is on and I got an O2 Sensor malfunction so you might wanna check that out or you could have a problem with your MAF.

mine stutters when it just starts up, and if you put it into gear it would die.

hmmm. It might be that O2 sensor for me because ever since my exhaust broke, its been doing this. But i think for me, my best bet would be to get the exhaust replaced in the first place, then we will move on from there.
