Car stutters and cuts off

Well, as the title may suggest, my car will stutter and then cut off. Its a 96 Formula and it has been doing this for a while. It only happens when the car is being driven and i think it corresponds with the car heating up (It'll get to about 245). I'm pretty sure its an ignition problem and i already replaced the coil but that didnt help anything. I also noticed a drop in oil pressure as the car heats up to normal operating temp. Any help would be appreciated, the next thing i will try to change is the ICM, hoping its not the optispark.

Well its kinda normal for the oil pressure to drop a little when the car warms up, the oil warms up and looses some of its velocity. How many miles are on your car? It sounds like it could be your opti, give a little more info on what happens and how your driving when it cuts out.

The word is viscosity . Yeah i'm hoping its not the opti, car only has 75K on it. I'm going to try to change the plugs, wires, and O2 sensors. If i change enough eventually i'll have a pretty decent motor right?
