Suggested Repair

Check and replace the mass airflow sensor, and clean any dirty fuel injectors.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1993 Mercury Villager reported spitting and sputtering at all RPM ranges, especially during acceleration. The engine sometimes ran better near 3500 RPM, or died and would not recover until it was stopped and driven again. Resistance checks and fuel pressure were already confirmed okay, and distributor advance was questioned. An expert suggested the mass airflow meter. The owner later confirmed that the mass airflow sensor and cleaning a dirty injector fixed the problem and restored power.
