Hmm, I had a similar problem with my Ranger. It had an untraceable electrical problem, and we sold it for scrap. Symptoms include backfiring, severe loss of RPM before backfiring, dying unexpectedly, just about everything it shouldn't do. How bad is the sputter? Does it sputter, or does it sound like a large dying animal?
