FIXED 96 3100 hesitates and sputters. loss of power
[*]loss of "power" when accelerating cold engine
[*]car hesitates as if out of gas
[*]car shudders like it was driving on a dirt road at speeds over 30 mph
[*]car jerks as if it were a manual transmission at speeds over 50 mph
[*]jerkiness disappears when car is given gas
[*]rough starts
[*]smell of unburnt gasoline in exhaust
[*]rough idle
Unrelated: car would stall when turning sharp corners at low speeds (around 15-20 mph). Power steering fluid was low--replaced. Car never stalled since.
======================================
I bit the bullet and got my ship fixed.
[*]My camshaft sensor was fried. The wires were burnt.
$100 parts, 400 labor.
Power steering leaks. Car doesn't stall though.

Front 02 sensor is probably bad.
