I just bought a nice looking 1984 244 on a deal from a frustrated owner. The car runs nice and then at random times it sputters and cuts out like it loses electrical power. When I drove it home (About 15 miles) it cut in and out on me about three times but continued after a backfire or two. It ran strong in between. The previous owner changed both fuel pumps, Fuel filter, rewired the starter, put in a new alternator. After all this it still “sputtered” and left her on the side of the road twice. I bought it right on the site of this last breakdown and it started right up for me and drove me home with the described symptoms. I paid $300 for the car and drove away fast before she could kick any dents in it. Does anybody have any ideas where I should start?

Thanks!

Don
