79 240d stopped running

Was running great, then suddenly started to act like it was running out of fuel, then cleared up and ran for a few miles. Sat for two days and when I drove it it ran great for a few blocks and started to cut out again. Then it cut of and would re-start but ran poorly, then it would run okay for a few seconds and start to die again, or run really rough. Any guesses. Fuel filters look new, though I plan to install new ones today. Unfortunately, I don't have my tools, so i'm limited in what I can do. The temp was around twenty-five this morning, if it matters.
One day I'll learn to stop buying cars out of town without my tools.
