when i mash the gas i find the car stuttering, like it want to shut down, the mechanic say it mite be the throttle body, plugs, or some thing electrical, i notice that by the distributor have a little spark that u cud only see in the night, i am wonder if that could cause the problem, while it idling the car stutter ever so often but when i mash the gas in pulling off it getting a little more bad, any help would be greatful

yup.....change ur plug wires....if it still happens could be air flow sensors. I had the same problem with a GA16DE....it was one of the air flow sensors. Get a diagnostic done if the problem still persists.

sounds like d airflow wat you could do is take it out n spray it first with carburetor spray den some electrical spray and lit dry den mount back up n see (WHATEVER YOU DO DONT USE WD40 OR SIMILAR PRODUCTS).sometimes these things get clogged up with carbon deposits :P
take out the injectors 1 by 1 and soak it in some gas for about an hour then spray it with carburetor spray n what i do for an extra clean is i take my daughters toothbrush and scrub it out :D

Dude, save yourself time and money by doing a diagnostic check. I had a similar problem with my B14 some time ago and for weeks nobody could figure it out. Just like you I was 'maybe this and maybe that'. I eventually did a diagnostic check and they were able to identfy the problem. It turned out to be a loose wire attached to the trottle.

dont use carb spray in your throttle body. you will be going to bamboo to buy one. It happened to me. the carb spray is a bit to harsh for the sensors etc.

check a mechanic, u may need to change ur distributor cap since u seeing a spark

b14 you could do a dianostic from on the brain box or with a wire for yourself. when you getting the problem is the car smoking black?

i change the distributor cap and the problem look like it fix there, i get every thing that was recommended here, so thanks for all the advice, injectors, plugs, plugs wire and throttle body, the only thing i feel i have to check althought the problem seems fixed, is the air flow sensor, but thanks for all advice
