Sputter, Sputter, Sput by Babs Bell, illustrated by Bob Staake (rhyming text)

From chapters.ca:
Suddenly my car won't go! Sputter, Sputter, Sput! What's the matter? I don't know! Riding in the car can be lots of fun— going fast and far, uphill and downhill, zooming all over town. But suddenly — with a sputter! sputter! sput! — the car slows down and stops. What can be wrong? Babs Bell's simple text, complete with all the sounds a car makes, combines with Bob Staake's bright, stylish illustrations to make an enjoyable ride.
