air filter, cap and rotor, bad gas...

What does it do after it spudders or in higher RPM?

Any lights come on?

at night open up the hood, turn on the car w/o headlights and watch for any sparks, if you do, you have an electrical leak, replace all wires associated wires.

gone are the days of the pantyhose fan belt.
