![]() Hey all. My car is sputtering under half-full throttle. I mash the gas pedal and it feels like I'm only on 6 cylinders.When I look at my fuel pressure gauge during idle, the needle shivers between 38-43. I increased and decreased the fuel pressure to no avail. The car idles like a champ, firing on all 8 cylinders. What should I look for and how can I test it? Should I do a compression test for a blown head gasket. I see no tell tale signs of one but I have a gut feeling. Well I'm not ruling out anything such as, mass air, o2 sensors or egr. Help?
