help, sputter/backfire?not sure what the problem is but when i accelerate, the car tends to choke. usually does it like once a day. did it quite a bit this morning. could it be an injector issue or spark plugs maybe bad?
thanks for the help

spark plugs might be not in the right spot, injectors spraying too much, water in the gas, or running to rich. thats all i can think of good luck.

If your injectors are spraying too much, you can hear the gas igniting late and causing backfire (igniting after your exhaust valves have opened) Usually it's caused by either bad timing or too rich of a fuel mixture.
I'm willing to bet its not a cracked block though. I think your issues would be far worse if that was the case.
