The last car I bought was a 93 pontiac bonneville. It had a stutter under accelleration and couldn't decide what gear it wanted to be in. The owner popped the hood, I just looked at it for a moment, touched nothing, but saw a sparkplug wire not connected. Said nothing about that, bought the car cheap right then, and fixed it in ten seconds at the gas station on my drive home. Disconnected sparkplug wire that was it.
