About 2 months ago, I had this same problem. Researched the archives and thought the problem to be complicated--ie. changed temp sensor II, rotor cap, ignition coil, new AFM, checked all grounds, and maybe some other things. But the solution was both simple and cheap. I replaced the fuel filter for $5.92 from NAPA. This solved the problem completely. 3-4 days after the fix, I was on the highway and it happened again. I immediately drove home, unhooked the filter and drained the fuel from the filter into a clean pail. Surprise--there was crud in it. I kept the filter on and for the pasy 1-2,000 miles it has been great. I also keep a spare fuel filter in case it happens again. I learned to try the cheap, easy and inexpensive fix first.
