Ok, I have a 98 GT, and When I am accelerating everything is ok, but when I let off the gas, I start to get this stutter in the engine, almost like it wants to die, now this doesnt stutter alot, but it will jump and run normal and jump. Then if I lightly push on the gas it will stutter more, but if I accelerate like normal it works just fine??? Any Ideas anyone? I had a celica before and it kind of feels like when my timing was off on my celica, but I know foreign cars are different sooo???

Make sure you intake isn't cracked. When it cracks the car starts to so stupid things like mine.

Ooops Sensor

It is possible that your air mass sensor is bad or is going bad. This could be one of the symptoms of such a problem. I could be wrong so check with others.

How would I be able to check the Mass Air Sensor? And you mean the Intake manifold or intake pipe itself? Thanks guys, any more suggestions too?

Before you do anything expensive, get a can of TB cleaner and clean out the IAC valve. Your symptom sounds like that could be the culprit.

Also check your codes, that might give you a direction in which to look.
