Default sputtering???

Yea ummm, i dont know if anybody has had this problem but my 04 srt has been sputtering every now and then at low rpm's
and when idling. whenever i floored it it would stop for some time, but the it would come back, then i added a fuel injector cleaner and seemed to have stopped the sputtering, and iam hping it wont come back. Wondering if anybody has had this problem or any feedback.

All stock with a BOV runnig 94 octane

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

Thank You

If you are on original plugs and wires - definitely replace them. Get some MSD plugs or something of that level, and plugs should be replaced at least every 10,000 miles with this car.

Do you have any rpm fluctuation with the sputtering?

plugs and wires should do the trick - i was thinking tps if you were having an INCREASE in rpm, but if it is stalling, it probably isn't getting spark. get in the car, close the door, put the key in the ignition, and cycle it from position 1 to position 2 - 3 times., but do not crank over past the resistance point where your car will start. After the 3 cycles, look at your odometer display. See if it throws any codes. If it doesnt, and just comes up with dashes, then says "done" you should be cool with the plugs and wires. You will see if it is throwing/has thrown codes for misfires, injectors...
P0159<----it will look like(not those numbers, just that format) if there is a code.
