    . Ensure fuel filter has been changed recently.

    . Test/replace the Ignition Control Module and coil packs:

    How many miles does it have on it?
    What is the maintenance history?
    Does the problem occure when the engine is cold, or does it do it when warmed up as well?
    You may have a fuel delivery issue. Or it could be ignition/spark related.
