Re: sputtering

Any check engine light? I'd be more inclined to think something like fouled spark plugs than fuel issue.

Re: sputtering

Maybe water in the gas (rare) at the last gas station you visited?
Maybe fuel pump is weak/intermittent?
Poor sparck due to failing ignition coil?

Try disconnecting the fuel return (rubber house) at the FPR (fuel pressure regulator). Use a clean,dry bucket to catch the fuel, have a helper turn ithe ignition to position two and pay attention to the fuel flow making sure it's even and not spitting out air. Afterwards check the gas in the bucket and see if there's any water in the gas (it should separate)..

Test the ignition coil as shown in the video at the bottom of my reply (in my signature).
