    I would think it is the park plug wires. Spray the wires with some water w/ a spray bottle with the car off, at night/in a dark garage watch the wires with the engine running and look for arcing along the wires. If you see arcing you know you need new wires

      Wires, distributor cap, rotor, or a combination of those. Replace all of them.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          wow replaced plugs, wires, rotor, and dist. cap. awesome how much of a difference that made. i dont know when the last time the car had a minor or major tune-up.
