have you checked for any trouble codes stored by the ECU?

if no codes, check the condition of your spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor and air filter and verify your timing and idle speed. if you've still got a problem then maybe a valve adjustment is needed. also, a check for vacuum leaks may be a good idea as well.

i just changed the spark plugs and i have tried be4 with the computer codes and the wirin has been messed with so much that it wont read nothin and it has a new cap and the plug wires i put on first of the year..... oh and somethin else that it did yesterday it idled down to 700 rpms and i bumped the gas a few times and it died but i cranked it right back up

Man this is a common problem believe it or not..caused me to rebuild my engine which didn't fix it..so I put in a V6 and that done the trick...I replaced fuel pumps, distributors, Throttle position sensors, ECU's, o2 sensors, thermostats, set the valves a litle tight, a little loose. AFM's, nothing ever worked....

mine was doing this i put a fuel filter on it a seemed to fix it,... but i did end up putting a fuel pump in about a month latter and found a bunch of trash in the tank,

so i'd try a fuel filter and check the fuel pressure
