Default sputters

Hey everyone I’m new to the page and trying to figure it out! But anyway I have a 93 XJ that I just bought. It has a sputtering issue that I’m trying to fix. If I floor it or even some acceleration it will sputter, but if I ease into and keep the pedal at a constant pace it won’t sputter. I change my spark plugs and wires so far. It doesn’t lose power just sputters. Trying to figure out what should be the next step!

Welcome! I have to run but will try to give you some suggestions first thing in the morning Sir. There are several things you will need to check and maybe I can help with this.

Looks like someone moved this. Right on... thank you, It will be better served on it's own where everyone can jump in.

This sounds more like it could be a fuel pressure issue.

My next step is to get new injectors run some Seafoam through it and clean the throttle body.

Before you do all that, I would just check your pressure first. It could just be a pressure regulator or fuel pump problem. Does it have a fuel filter that could be clogged?

Did you just clean it or did you have to replace it?
