as the title says... my car the other day was acting up... it was sputtering real bad when i left the McDonlads drive through; finally rev. its self up pretty good and was fine... drove a 100 150 miles with no problems to see some freinds and that night it did it again pretty bad. I was parked talking, started it up and started to take off... sputtering...wanting to die really bad..things of the such...no smoke was coming out...nothing like that.. ignition prob.? coils or something?? any advice?
And for those that will ask.. the SES is always on im my car..has been for the last 20 thousand miles

 

Mind telling us why the SES is on? And besides ignition, when was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

well, the car is a 95, so the plug in on it diffrent than most and i have never takin it to a dealership to look. i thnk its on because i have a fipk and it comes on at coast down hill and things so its prob gettin a wrong reading to what it is suppost to on the air to fuel or things of the such.. i changed filter...or prob.... 10 12 months ago...that doesnt really feel like that though... but could be, im not ruling anything out. just looking for input.
it has 130 ish thousand on her... and it is well maintaned and taken care of.

 

anything guyz?

 

I would take it to a shop and get the computer scanned to find out what that code is before trying to diagnose/spend money on possible fixes.

whats the cheapest place to take it to scan it.

 

autozone is free

 

Autozone can only do OBDII, the car in question is a 95, so it's OBDI or OBD 1.5.

Just take it to a local shop and ask how much to hook up a scan tool to pull the code. Much easier than using the paper-clip trick, and the mechanic will most likely give you a few ideas as to what would fix whatever is causing the code.
