Unless the muffler is plugged up, this should not affect the operation of the motor...

Does the engine rev freely in park/neutral?

yes it does, it sounds like the hole is bigger but it runs smooth in park/neutral. only when its moving does it act that way.

More fuel is necessary to move the vehicle. Just like more spark power is necessary for complete combustion. If it isn't a fuel issue, then it is possible it is a spark issue.

replaced the fuel filter just now and it didnt fix it. i took it for a drive after that and the first 1/4 inch of pedal it drove fine, after that it sputtered, and the sound came from the back if that helps any, and it would slowly pick up speed. it did it at idle too when i revved it in park but also keep in mind it had just been started up for the day. should i take the exhaust off and see if that helps?
