Welcome to the board.Could be a lot of things,my money is on the coil wire.Replace it and let everyone know if this helps.My02

If the water pump is going south,it could be leaking onto the distributor,causing some problems.Add any coolant lately?Hope this helps.

Might try replacing the fuel filter. Its cheap and if it hasn't been done for a while it's a good time to do it. Probably something starting to go like to opti or even the fuel pump. How many miles and whats been done to it?

129000 miles and its just got a SLP cai and de-mufflered. the previous owner took really good care of it so its in really good shape. thanks for the ideas guys, im gonna look into them

I had similar problems. Cleaned the maf and throttle body. Smoothed it out. At the same time I replaced the fuel filter and coil wire. hard to tell what actually solved it, but only cost $30 to fix.

I seems to me that the main factor with yours is heat. replacing the coil possibly could help. Search problems with coil.

oh ya and i noticed it seems to do it when its low on gas, like quarter tank or lower. so its kinda got me thinkin its the fuel filter
