Hi there. Check the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail and see if its plugged up. You may have to remove it and clean it. If the regulator is good, then I recommend replacing the spark plugs to ensure a good strong spark. If you need further assistance with your engine sputtering, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
