Hi guys,

Noticed just recently that my dc5r sputters from time to time. An example being, i was driving to uni in the morning the car was warm and i decided to floor it onto the freeway, just after vtec it would start to sputter, then later on after more driving it sputtered again after vtec. Then late cruising to a mates place it drove fine no sputter, even after vtec engagement

What could be causing this sputter?
Could it be a faulty MAP sensor?

Mods:
Intake
4-2-1 headers with de-cat

cheers!

Spluttering sound out of the exhaust or from the engine? ANd does it feel sluggish?

No, it doesn't sound like the above video. It happens as i accelerate the car like its bogging the car down, but then after driving for a while it would be normal

If the 02 sensor was faulty it'd show CEL?

Change spark plugs. If problems persist could be coil packs.
