Why would a 98 ford escort sputter when accelerating?

About 3 months I had a new engine put into my 98 ford escort. Since then it's been sputtering on and off while accelerating, before it would only sputter in the morning when I first started driving. But today it sputter on and off all day, especially when accelerating and occasionally at stop lights. I'm wondering if it just needs a tune up or if its the fuel pump. What do u think?
 
it is in the carb or intake air valve on fuel injected cars the warm up on it is suppose to adjust the air and fuel ratio or basically the chock on a car is out of adjustment or not working a vacuum hose could be broke and causing to not work since generally it is controlled by vacuum
 
try checking for trouble codes, it could be plugs, wires or sensors..
check your tank, it could have some water in the bottom..

I find on mine it helps to run a tank of premium through it to clean things up..
