[FC] sputtering

[Merv Krull]

Check the inside of the distributor cap. Can you see "carbon tracks"?
Sometimes various crud allows electricity to jump along these tracks and
start causing misfires in other cylinders. New cap is the only cure for that
particular problem. Make sure everything else is 1oo% too.
good luck
