First pull the trouble codes and see what the computer doesn't like. Then look for any vacuum hoses off or cracked. How long has it been since you had a tune-up ?

Hi, You MOST likley have a vacumme leak, OR the LARGE hose going to the throttle body is cracked, The flex hose, Take a GOOD look, See Ya, Clay..

I had a 93 that was doing exactly what your's sounds like it's doing. I found a crack in the bottom of the flex hose that joins the air cleaner to the throttle body. I was 100 miles from home when it happened, so a piece of duct tape fixed it until I got to the wreckers for and intact one. The other thing it could be is a crack in the insulator at the plug end of the plug wires. If the Bakelite is cracked or if it is oil soaked from a leak in the valve cover gasket, it can short out against the side of the valve cover and cause the car to miss fire. I would start looking for a vacuum leak first, but check the plug wires while you are at it. Good luck
