96 SW1, runs great, then terrible

Hi,

This car (65k miles) runs very well 99% of the time. But every so often, it starts to run horrible -- coughing, sputtering, stalls. There is a strong smell of sulfur from the exhaust. Then when I restart it, everything is fine...

I'm thinking this has got to be some computer/sensor error, because if something were really wrong, it would always run bad. Anyone have an insight into this?

TIA, Chuck

try changing the pvc valve first, so cheap & easy; turn key on & off 5 times without start to reset, if no go, try the oxygen sensor. I am not a mechanic, I just know this worked for me. E

I highly suspect the fuel pump.
