The 89 420 SEL runs fine above 5mph.

Starts great, idles rough, give it gas and most time it goes just fine, but here latly it has started hessitating when you give it gas.
Last week my wife was driving and was stopped at a green light ready to turn left, as an opening came up in the traffic she gave it the gas to go and it started spitting and sputtering as it rolled into the oncoming traffic. As the car stalled, but never cut off, she had the entire two left of on coming traffic stopped as she tried to make it across the interection. She lost her green light and the traffic started rolling up to her side window because she was blocking their ability to go as the car sputtered along at 1mph. Finally at about 30 seconds later and after she stopped all traffin at the red light, the engine smoothed out and took off running fine again,
You never know when it's going to fail.
Usually right after starting it sputters for about 20 seconds. You can press on the accelerator but it just sputters, after 20 seconds it will take off and run great at 5mph-80 mph.

Retired and poorer now thanks to Obama, I can't spend alot of money, but I can spend my pension check on little parts until Obama takes that away too.

Help
