380SL Sputters & losses power. Restart solves problem.

Hi All:

Thanks in advance to any help with this oddball problem. I recently bought an 83 380SL. It has the double roller conversion and 88,000 miles. Cherry car... except: After about 45 minutes of highway driving, it begins to sputter and jerk (kinda' lunges) and lose power - acts like a fuel starvation problem. It happens sooner if the car has been "pushed" like driving on hilly terrain. It also happened more frequently and sooner these past few days as the temps have risen in the northeast leading me to believe I'm in for a lousy summer driving experience. Thing is... if I pull over, stop the engine and restart, it all goes away... almost like something is "resetting". Everything goes back to normal only to return again a while later. Everything else is normal and the car drives as new otherwise. I alternate adding a can of Ventil Sauber and Jectron once a month. Within the last 3,000 miles, the tank has been dropped, flushed and cleaned, it has new fuel filters, air filters, wires, distributor cap, and brand new injectors. Any ideas? Thanks!
