My 1995 960 had been running fine until the other day when on the highway it cut out but not completely. It lost a lot of power and was still running but seemed like it was a running on only 3 cylinders. i replaced the front (left) ignition amplifier with one from a running car. It started up and ran fine. Drove it fir several miles, and it ran fine. Stopped for lunch for about an hour. Started back up fine and ran for about a half mile and it did the same thing. I had the two amplifiers from the car tested at a parts store and both tested bad. Don't see how that is possible. Does it sound plausible that one of the amplifiers is cutting out? Would any other sensor cause this problem?

Thanks for any thoughts or ideas!!

Gary
