Default Sporatic Sputtering of the engine

169000+ miles and going............When idling or in 6th gear at low speeds the engine seems to sputter as if it wants to shutdown yet when i give it gas it operates normal. Im not sure what the issue is its currently at a shop being diagnosed. Beats me it could be a catalytic converter egr valve fuel pump fuel relay not sure any ideas i need an answer pronto its driving me up the wall

I dont have my crossfire manual in front of me but I know it is in there, based on your mileage since the last time you changed it. You should have changed it twice at minimal by now. Its a good cheap place to start first, do you ever run any fuel injector cleaner through your tank?
