I have the exact same issue. cant figure it out. somedays its fine, some not too fine. today i drove about 15 miles it sputtered the whole way... in november i changed my spark plugs and ignition coil, it seemed to run fine for about two weeks then fell on its face again, probably coincedence. I have noticed that when i shift or rev the engine the RPMs bounce really fast.

Sounds like you need to replace the plug wires. Let me guess: If you're really easy on the throttle and baby the car, you can kinda keep it from happening, but if you try to drive like normal and give it more than just a little gas, it starts cutting out, sounding kinda like a Harley? More often than not, that's bad plugs or wires on these cars.

If you're not heavily modified, I would HIGHLY suggest getting the Bosch replacements at Autozone for the simple reason that they come with a lifetime warranty. Next time this happens, you limp the car to Autozone, pull the wires, and they give you a new set. If the problem persists at that point, you know you have other fish to fry.

Good luck.
