    sounds sorta like the fuel pump is giving out? might be that sorta like it is starving the car for gas...

    as someone else said, check the rotor button, sometimes the screw backs out.

    I would be checking the MAIN RELAY under the dash, it could be shorting out, causeing the Fuel pressure to fall.

    I would also check TIMING
