Have you checked for any disconnected or damaged vacuum hoses? Does it do it at any temperature?

Mine cut out for the longest time and could never figure out what was wrong with it. And it turned out it had bad gas. Id make sure you dont have bad gas or need a new fuel pump strainer before tearing stuff apart.

i actually had somewhat of the same problem the last coouple of days and i replaced my plug wires ,cap and rotar, replaced my exhaust manifold gaskets and had to rethread my 4th spark plug hole and the same thing happend to me when i accelerate my car lost power and the last thing ended up being my fuel injector connections and the wires for the fuel injectors so i cleaned my connections and replacing my wires soon

I think it is the injectors actually cause ive already replaced one due to corrosion in the connector. The other 3 werent bad at the time but guess they are now. Damn.... they are so tedious to clean too. thanks though i wouldnt have even thought about it till now.

you can pick up corrosion spray at any automotive store and spray it in to the connection (witch i did) and it started to work fine again
