Post 87 300e studders,wont start help......

Hi, new to the forum, so bear with me.I have been racking my brain pan over my brothers, 300e 3.0L, he had some trouble with oil pressure, drove it home, and parked it, then it won't start. Had it towed to my garage and started working it over, checked all relays, OVP fuse, fuel pumps work, i get spark, but it just refuses to cooperate.I've found it studders around with excessive cranking and continuous pumps on the accelerator, but as soon as i let off it just goes back to free cranking, no shudder at all.Please help, i read on another post that they tend to be extremely sensitive to cap, wires, plugs. so i was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and if replacing the ignition components helps.Going to replace the filter tomorrow.let ya know how it goes.Thanks.Evolve by devolving, go veggie.
