I was just breezing through here and noticed I have the same problem with my cruiser at just under 50 thou. I did my wires and plugs myself at 20,000, stock plugs were crap. Did double plats and magnecor 8.5mm wires, pt ran great after.

My Pt felt really sluggish and had bad electrical problems, like the lights diming out to start and when the A/C fan came one, OMG it was like the PT wanted to shut down. I got a new battery and installed myself considering they wanted me to seat around and wait for 2 hours to install. It ran better after by far.

Now I have the sputtering and feeling of stalling out sometimes too. I guess I will have to invest in some Crane wires this time around. Plat plugs should be OK I guess and the stock spark box will stay. Other then that it may need a check on the fuel filter, water pump, PCV valve, timing belt, and the cat. But only one of those I can check myself.

Well I hope to keep reading this and see if you could figure out the problems you are having because they sound alot like mine, with the exception of the manual tranny.
