it sound very similar to what mine was doing
but not sure
i don't think any body can be exactly sure unless they here the car run
test the resitance of the injectors to see if you have a bad one
i've been told that if one goes (on these cars the way they are wired)
then it will affect all
check for vac leaks
do you have any codes(check engine light on?)
could be a bad timing chain
if you don't have any codes its something that does not afect how the computer is controling things
could be a plugged cat converter
