Need more information. At this point there are so many things that could cause the problem it would be better if you started with information regarding what if anything has been done during the mileage you didn't state. For example. Tune up's. Even an opti spark distributor will require a cap and rotor as they wear at least as fast as any other cap and rotor. You mentioned plugs and wires. A must have during a tune up as well. But so is an ignition coil and O2s. Air filter and fuel filter is part of a tune-up also.

What if anything has been done to clean the injectors? IAC ever been cleaned, much less the throttle body?

Oh and let's not forget, is it setting any DTC's?

Your turn.
