03 xtype 2.5 sputter when take off
 
seems that when I put the pedal down it sputters a bit then accelerates, only at low speeds, only 96000 kms on it. Any thoughts?

Have you tried to run some fuel injector cleaner through a tank of gas yet. Sounds like dirty injectors.

just put some in yesterday, cross your fingers lol

There can be only two possibilities: fuel or spark.

My money is on fuel being the issue. Either too much or not enough.

Ques: Did you put the injector cleaner in because you noticed a problem or did you notice the problem after you put it in?

Well i would suggest if you are thinking fuel, changing the fuel filter. That is a huge culprit with fuel flow. Plus its easy as hell to change out, plus its cheap. Just curious too, no check engine light?

no check engine light, put the injector cleaner in after I noticed the issue, going to have it in for an oil change early next week, will get them to put in a new fuel filter, I appreciate the advice !
