Your problem sounds like a bad ignition coil or a bad coil firing module.

If you disconnect the coils one at a time with the engine at idle (the oval plug at back of coil, NOT the high voltage wire) and if the engine dies, you found your bad system.

Try switching the module your coil is plugged into with the other module. If the problem changes sides, the module is the problem.

Your engine should idle with either coil disconnected, at a lower speed however.
