Sputters and misses under moderate to heavy acceleration.
95 Buick series1 3800 supercharged. It idles and runs well under light acceleration but if you step on the gas, it sputters and misses. No codes showing up. Any ideas are appreciated.

Is fuel pump still factory?

A new fuel pump replaced the original almost a year ago. The previous owner had replaced the wires and sparkplugs. I just picked up a fuel filter and haven't put it in yet. It seems the problem is worsening. I'm not sure whereabouts the filter location is on my 1993 Olsmobile 98 Touring Sedan Supercharged. The motor was replaced with a 1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra Supercharged many years ago.

If your car has anything but AC delco wires on it I would recommend starting there. I bought mine from rockauto.com for a decent price. There is a thread posted not to long ago about this issue I had.

Mine had also had the plugs and wires replaced recently by the previous owner but they used budget Autolite wires and Champion plugs. I replaced the wires first with OEM AC delco wires and that took care of the misfire 100 percent. Then I replaced the plugs anyway since I already bought them. I used AC delco plugs as well.
Check Rock Auto, and also parts store websites like Advance Auto and Auto Zone for any promotions you can use (they often run 10-20% off deals)... order online and pick up in store, best of both worlds because you can save on shipping and return to the store if you have any problems. Rock Auto always has 5% off codes floating around, which will at least pay for most of your sales tax. Retailmenot.com also is a GREAT website for finding current coupon codes for almost any website store that you can imagine.
