Temperature-related sputtering can be caused by:

Cold starts: Thick engine oil, worn spark plugs, o r a weak battery can make starting difficult and cause misfires.

Hot weather: Fuel evaporation, vapor lock, o r overheating of ignition components can lead to sputtering.

Thermal expansion: Heat can cause small leaks o r loosened connections in the fuel o r air system.

Preventive Measures:

Use engine oil suitable for local climate conditions.

Inspect the ignition system and replace worn spark plugs before summer o r winter.

Park in shaded areas during hot weather and avoid overloading the engine.

Ensure fuel system components are clean and functioning properly.
