Hey everyone I need some help.
My 94 Fto Gr was backfiring and spluttering when I was driving it a few weeks ago and hardly accelerated when I put my foot down. I then changed the spark plugs and oil filter 2 weeks ago and it solved the problem, however it has now come back again.
I'm thinking it could be the spark plugs again, the spark plug leads or my exhaust because I have a fairly large hole in it that I haven't fixed yet.
Am I on the right track or could it potentially be something else?
Cheers,
Kenneth

Try checking your leads. One may have come loose.
I fix cars.

What was the condition of the old spark plugs like when you removed them...

Re: Fto backfiring and spluttering
could be as simple as fuel filter/ dirty fuel.

Re: Fto backfiring and spluttering
Thanks for the feedback guys, the old spark plugs looked like the interior glazing one but probably even a little darker.
Tomorrow i'll check the spark plugs and leads and possibly change the fuel filter as well and i'll keep you posted on how it goes.
