I have lived the nightmare of hesitation and sputtering

but i dont know if this is the same thing...

Idle when cold is great, driving too, but after 3 or 5 mins, depends if i go easy it goes well for longer, but open throttle after i hit high revs there it starts.... (prolly when engine is hot )

the engine starts sputtering but in a fixed cicle!,

like 1,2 secs ok then BUMP like a shake and a hesitation, then again 1,2 BUMP, 1,2 BUMP, when the problems start if i accel it sputters a lot doesnt matter which rev, it tries to accelerate but missing and sputtering all the way up, and when braking it stalls, and idling goes 1,2 BUMP, 1,2 BUMP when i launch it stalls

all cables have spark, EDIT: Tried disconnecting each injector no change, every injector drops the engine to low and shaking.Yesterday it was fine!, noone touched it it all started this morning, dropped some seafoam in the fuel tank and still ill get a mighty Carb Cleaner and start spraying for vacuum leaks and the maf cleaning.

ill buy new cables and sparks.... and maybe a fuel filter, what else? fuel pump was replaced like 5 months ago when i got my first sputtering experience, but this one is more continuous!

Test drived 5 mins ago all fine until i revved it high, light sputtering, then when braking and idling stalling and shutting off if i dont let it accel a lil, i know that when it heats up it gets to its worst point..

maybe its the 4th injector? how do i remove it? to check if its spraying ok, and maybe changing it to another cylinder?

This guy`s engine sounds a lot like mine, liston to the engine in 0:28, when hes pumping the gas to keep it alive??? It sounds like its cutting, my car does that very violently from launch, at light throttle, medium heavy u name it, and braking it stalls if im not careful on gassing it a lil

EDIT: FIXED, spark plugs and cables, i did sense it did it again 1 lonely sputter when hard throtling but never again hmmm.... i hope i dont go back again to that damn problem
