Hey, all. I've recently had some issues with my 2001 GT. Over the weekend, I noticed that there is a noticable sputtering sound in 1st-3rd gears at low RPMs. I felt like I lost a bit of power, so I did some research on here and replaced the fuel filter, and just this morning, replaced the spark plugs.
I then took it out for a test drive, and the sputtering sound is still there! OMGWTFBBQ! The power seems fine now, but the sound seems a bit louder (maybe I was almost expecting it to be loud). It does go away at the higher RPMs, only to return when I go back into 1st-3rd gears at low RPMs.
I dunno if this is related, but I've always gotten a sort of sputtering sound when I went into reverse. It's the exact same sound as my problem above.
Any ideas here? While I can do maintenance and repair, I suck at diagnosing problems.
