check spark plug wires and for fouled spark plugs. then i would check the O2 Sensors, Fuel Filter. I would bet the first on my list is the problem though. seen it too many times, but i could be wrong.

Well, thats a pretty good list of possible suspects. If your car has 60K or more your opti spark will likly have problems in the near future.

Agree with Gangly, try the easy and cheap stuff first but sooner or later you better plan on replacing the Optispark....sorry to be the bearer of bad news Optispark
