I have a '93 VW Eurovan that has started occasionally sputtering at higher RPMs. It will typically start when I’m in 5th gear going down the interstate, and will continue at higher RPM’s in all gears. However if I restart the car, the problem disappears altogether. Sometimes I’ll do the restart while rolling, shift back into gear, and the issue stops. It has been random at this point. Won’t happen for a few days, then strikes again. Car has 270,000 miles, but only about 5,000 with me. Any thoughts?
