have you checked to see what codes you have? have you changed your spark plugs/wires? fuel filter? check all of those, they result in 90% of all the 2gnt problems.

Your fuel pump may be going bad.

i replaced the spark plug wires when i got the car(20k mi ago)....spark plugs and i went and cleaned the electrodes about 5-10k ago....and i replaced the fuel filter at the same times as the cleaning. i was also thinkin my injectors needed to be cleaned or the cat taken out....think that might help? oh and the fuel pump is ok i think cuz i always thought if the pump was goin it would just die and not come back.

It really sounds like an ignition problem to me. why not go and buy some ngk copper plugs, make sure that they are gapped properly, and take 5 mins and install them.

p.s. weren't we talking about this problem like half a year ago?
