car sputtering
wtf! i have a 00 si with stock b16, it was driving like ---- and had a cel for a couple weeks after i took the i.m. off to clean it. well come to find out, i'm a dumbass and forgot to hook my tps back up and the o ring on my iac was no good. so i finally figured this out and fixed it. it's been running fine for a couple of days, but this morning when i was stopped at a light, i went to put it in gear and it bogged a little like i was out of gas, then the rest of the ride to work, it was sputtering a little if i let off the gas and pressed it back down. it felt exactly like i was running out of gas, but i have a full tank? i don't understand, the car only has 60k miles on it, and is stock except for i/h/e, i don't understand why i would be having a problem like this

Re:car sputtering
i can't see it being the main relay. If it was the relay it would be cutting power to 1 of 3 things. 1. ecu 2. ign 3. fuel pump. and your car wouldn't sputter. it would die.
maybe you pinced a fuel line while messin with the IM? I think the EACV and IAT sensor have same wiring. double check wire colours so u are sure u didnt mess it up.

it has to be something simple though, i'll check my plugs and filter and fuel lines when i get off, it couldn't really be anything else
