What it does: when either accelerating moderately, or going uphill, it acts almost like theres bad gas, or the fuel filter is clogged with grape jell or something...
If I really get my foot into it, it takes off!

What's ben done recently: New air filter/fuel filter/spark plugs/gas treatment.
I've owned this only for a short time & it's so far not run really well, I believe.

(Looks at mileage) clutch slippage?

 

[rgouette]

clutch?

I was hoping noone would say clutch..
is here a reasonably good way to narrow that down as the culprit?

is the engine hesitating or is it still winding up fine and the car just won't accelerate?

rough....

The whole engine is sputtering.

have you troubleshooted for vacuum leaks? most engine roughness with these motors are a result of a vacuum leak.

Its probably the 02 sensor.If you have bad acceleration,hesitating ,then my guess is the o2 sensor in your exhaust.When was the last time you replaced it?
