Default Car sputters on startup + after I get on it

It JUST started tonight.


I ran a few cars, then I was just cruzing and it started to randomly cut out then go away.

I shut the car off, started it back up and it sounds like it has a cam in it for about 2 seconds then idles fine. It only starts doing this after I get on it kinda hard.

Fuel pressure is reading good at the rail (elec fuel press gauge). .

Before the car seems like it has a misfire also. id be sitting in drive at a light and it would kinda miss at a certain cylinder. But other than that, it drove fine.

So maybe im thinking plugs? Threw a check engine light but its been on for like a temp sensor. Didnt effect it before.


Any ideas?

Bought MAF cleaner, cleaned the maf and tb.

Noticed the coolant temp plug on the head wasnt on (hince why my car wasnt reading temp.

Would that have anything to do with it? I plugged it back in and the gauge went to where it was supposed to.
