Why is my truck sputtering and backfiring?

One of the most common causes of a sputtering engine is an issue with the vehicle's fuel system-the filter, pump, and injectors. These three critical components work together to ensure fuel flows smoothly from the fuel tank to your engine's fuel injectors, and then pumps into the engine evenly.
