I have a problem with my stilo:

1. Engine starts fine, idle is fine, the car never stalled on me yet
2. As soon as I start accelerating (even worse going uphill) the car seems to lose power, sputtering, the fuel consumption display shows "---" like it's not getting fuel.
3. If I keep my foot light (10% pressure on the gas maybe), the car is smooth but slow
4. diagnostics show that all four injectors are bad, which I seriously doubt, they were replaced not too long ago.

Seems to me something with the fuel pump/fuel filter is wrong, clogged up maybe? If I understand correctly they are located under the rear seats. Can I replace it or do I need some special tools?

Hi,
I believe this fuel usage figure is just feedback from a vacuum gauge,

get the car plug into diagnostics, and see what errors you find,
also what sensor readings you find,
