[Shotimes] Sputtering problem

[Kirk Doucette]

My plus started this after about half way to Tulsa (This past Monday) It
seems to do it less when I don't have the 1300lbs of crap in the trunk too.
Im not sure like Paul said it cold be water left over from a car wash, Im
beginning to think mine is oil. I can smell oil when I come to a stop and
see it burning as well from the right angle, but it don't drop any.  I need
to track it down this week so I pass along any info I come up with.

I drove straight home from Tulsa on Sunday, made it in 22 hours with 6 fuel
stops, 3 meal stops and about 30 piss breaks :)  and every time I start and
stop it does it, but with all the weight I do lug the motor a bit and that
is when it gets bad, run it all the way through the gear and its fine, Mines
does it about 2000 to 2400

Anybody have any clues as to why my car might be sputtering? It idles fine.
At
part throttle acceleration it sputters. At cruise it's fine. If I floor it,
it
sputters for a bit and then smothes out.

New plugs less than 1K miles ago. New TPS. This all has happened since I
cleaned my intake with Berryman's and a car wash. I don't believe it is
still
wet since I washed/cleaned several weeks ago.
