You may be experiencing a crank shaft position sensor that is failing. When this begins to fail your vehicle will begin to hesitate and act irradic on acceleration as the vehicle looses the position of the crankshaft. Eventually the sensor will have a hard fault and the vehicle may begin to stall.

I own the exact car and HAD the exact trouble, WHEN I changed the crank, cam, and coolant temp, NO CHANGE, then was told this model has deteriorating engine wire harness, also I changed STILL no change, BUT THEN I changed BOTH distributor caps, and rotas. ALL FIXED. REMOVE one of your dizzies and look for wear. Good luck
