I'm having an issue today with my 04 max, i backed out of my driveway today and it was seemed to have an unsteady idle but that's normal for my car , i started driving forward a little bit and it sputtered a couple times and stalled, so i started it again and went to move again and it did the same thing. so i start it again , nailed the gas and it seemed to be ok still sputtering but not stalling. I made it to work without any isssue, Later in the day i started it again and it sputtered a little but nothing major and it seemed fine. Tonight i started driving home and it seemed ok for a bit, then i noticed an SES light on i was at a constant speed so i didn't notice any problems. I got off my exit and slowed down when i made my turn it started accelerating and it was sputtering like crap i nailed the gas harder and it the rpm's flew up but it went no where had no power. I dunno what the hell it is. I was hoping for some insight as to what it is. or what it could be.

 

Get the code read (AutoZone/Kragen etc.) and that will tell you what is wrong.

 

i'm hoping it's not something serious

 

I'm hoping it's drivable to get the code.

 

i made it home so it should be ok i hope

 

Once you get the code, post it and I'm sure we could help you with the problem. First if you want/can, check the intake area and see if there are any obvious problems, i.e. intake hose disconnected, etc.
