[QUOTE="poisonbl, post: 1163818, member: 17541"] Well, in a roundabout way, it turned out the majority of my issues were timing-ish. Pull your codes, address anything there first, but with it matching the list of symptoms I had, it's very likely that it's somewhere between battery and the spark plugs. In the end, it turned out to be my distributor failing, according to the garage that had it, and since that fix, it's run even better than it had before any noticeable issues had appeared. I would've preferred to locate and fix the problem myself, but I had to have the car for a longer distance work trip that she really just wasn't up for at that point, and I'd really just started running out of ideas. For tracking down the source of yours, I'd recommend working back from the plugs first, test plug wires, make sure plugs are actually hooked up in the right order, check cap and rotor, test the coil, and verify engine ground. After that, take a good look at (down into) the distributor for any sign of deeper issues (debris, etc). [/QUOTE]
