    Personally, I would breath new life into the ignition system and replace the igniter, coil, rotor, and NGK spark plugs. The igniter should be inside the distributor. You want to also check the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve. If you do all of this, you should solve your problem and be in great shape for years to come.
