car stalling/sputtering
 
Just recently my car has started to stall when at idle and while driving if I have the radio or use anything else electrical it will start sputtering. What could be causing this. I have an 2008 with about 38,000 miles on it as is.


I have done a wire tuck and have spliced wires but have had no issues with it for over a year. I have done no recent modifications as I am putting my car back to stock. any help as to what is causing this would be much appreciated.

have you check the MAF sensor, or maybe theres a short or bad ground someplace..

Did you check your splices ? they might be corroding or have moisture in them.

ya you deff have a bad ground or a short and especially since you have spliced into them..did you apply any heat shrink tubing to the splices

fixed :) Some animal was in my engine bay and was chewing on wires. It ate through the ground under the left headlight.
