Question 87 Fiero SE 2.5 auto sputters

got this here fiero that had been sitting for about 2-3 years before i bought it.
found it under pretty beat up lookin tarp.

after i towed it home i replaced the battery, plugs, alternator, and gave it a thorough carb cleaning.
fired right up after those parts were replaced!

but while running the engine will (without any warning whatsoever) begin to sputter and the check engine idiot light comes on. if i dont immediatley stomp my foot down on the accelerator, it will undoubtedly stall out.

i realize that the fiero has what is called a "distributor-less" ignition system. i've never dealt with this system before.... i'm thinking it could either be something in that system, the plug wires, or even something clogging the fuel lines.

i plan to swap the extremely inexpensive fuel filter within the next few days, hopefully thats the problem.

any ideas?


(on a side note, anyone know a good place to get mounting brackets for the rear spoiler for cheap? the threads in the spoiler are completely broken and stripped out...)
