I have a 2000 Cruiser and I am getting a engine sputter once the truck warms up. It goes away above 2200 RPM's. If I have been driving for awhile it will sputter at idle. I have replaced the fuel pump and filter. Camshaft position sensor, Alternator, belt, and belt tensioner. Any thoughts? I think it is full related. I have run seafoam thought the intake and put redline SI in the tank with no change. Help.
 
No coil pack codes. 301-308 ??
 
Almost definitely a coil pack.

I was having a issue where I could only drive it till it warmed up and it would run rough then die and I could not restart it. Let it sit for awhile and it would start up again. That is when I changed the fuel pump and Camshaft sensor. Then I ran it and I got a check engine light and running very rough. Got 301 and 306 codes. Cleared the codes and it was running ok but with the sputter but did not die. I then got c1223 (ABS Control System Malfunction) and c1241 (low high power supply voltage) codes. That is when I did the alternator and belt tensioner. After reading more threads I have a couple thoughts. Vacuum hoses or checking the coils and plugs on 1 & 6. One guy mentioned throttle position sensor.
 
I have replaced all coils in the past 2 years. Plugs at the same time. Initially used Bosch Plat. That was a big mistake.
 
I went through this last month. Tried a lot of different things; cleaned mass air flow sensor, cleaned throttle body, checked TPS function, etc.

Replaced all my coil packs and it went away. I never did get any codes.
 
Sounds like a crank position sensor to me.
 
RPM will fluctuate if TPS is out. Use OEM coils and Denso spark plugs.
