After reading of the symptoms again, I'd think he's describing run-on.

  The spitting and sputtering is a sure-fire (no pun intended) indication
that
it is not running properly, more than likely it is running rich...  I assume
that your mechanic has attempted to fix this already?  It is at least part
of
the reason why it runs rough (sure sounds like it does, esp. if stuttering
upon turning the car off)...  I would confirm that the mixture is correct,
then I would fill up on 93 octane if available in your area.  Before filling
up, I would put in the large bottle of Chevron Techron.  Then, I would get
on
the highway and nail that sucker to the floor...  It sounds as if it is
badly
coked up and/or the mixture is off...  Once you finish that tank, you should
notice a difference in idle and/or performance...
