One day it will drive just fine. Next it will sputter and surge. Then drive thru town at lights it will die if not on the gas/ sometimes. Then chugs and surges going down the rd at 30mph. Some times it just stops having problems for a couple days. Just runs great. (Alt, plugs, wires,battery, cap, rotor, gas cap, water pump, valve cover gasket, all new, installed by trusted wrench.)
