850 NA Sputters, tries to die 850 1996

My daughter's 850 seems to have an intermittent problem that kills or almost kills it.
If it is rolling you can feather/flutter the gas pedal and keep it going and it will run fine
until it does it again and irregular intervals.
If it dies it will usually start right up but sometimes the problem persists on restart.
If you can get it back over about 1500 rpm it seems to be OK.
When it is idling the idle speed does NOT seem slow unless the problem occurs.
I don't think it is an overheated coil because you don't have to wait to start it back up.
Anybody had this or know what causes it?
Many thanks for your help!
