Help with my slowmaro?

I have a problem with my slowmaro that I just cant figure out. After about 20 min. of driver the car starts to misfire and wants to cut out. If I step on the gas it cut off and starts jump around the rpms. Sprak plug, wires, coil, and module are new. Any ideas what it could be?

Sounds like Opti since the PCM uses the feedback signal from it to drive the output to the tach.

217,000 miles on one opti. Holy hole in the donut Batman, that must be some kind of record. I don't think your fuel pump would make the rpms jump higher than actual. That's why I think its the opti.
