First time pushing it?!?!?!?!

I push mine at least once a week! :laugh: :nonono:

Fuel pump? Vac line?
 
Fuel pump was my first thought. As Joe said, vac lines... I'd check there too.
 
Is it an E0? Crank position sensor wiring did this on my E0, would work fine for weeks at a time and then would just sputter and die. Next day back to normal.
 
Skull,

Its an E1. I'm not quite sure what I plan on doing with it right now. Due to it just sputtering out on me i don't know if i can trust it to be driven long distances. I will look at it later this summer after i try my hand and some minor surface rust repair.
 
I say let's throw in a 3l and call it a day. If you want to bring it by one of these weekends I can take a look at it for you not saying I'll know any better than you but I'd like to see your car anyways.
