Why does my Kia Ceed's engine stutter when accelerating?

I've noticed that when I step on the gas, my Kia Ceed's engine seems to stutter before it finally accelerates. What could be causing this issue and should I be concerned?

This could be due to a clogged fuel filter. It's important to clean or replace your fuel filter periodically to avoid engine issues.

Another possible cause could be a faulty spark plug. Make sure to get your spark plugs checked and replaced if necessary.

It's also possible that there's an issue with the fuel pump. If the stuttering persists, it's best to get it checked by a mechanic.

One thing you could try is using a fuel additive to clean out any buildup and improve engine performance.
