Tom, I've forgotten the previous threads on this, but it sure sounds
classically symptomatic of bad spark plug wires:  a complete electrical
circuit but with weak contacts.  Have you watched the engine idle after
sundown for any sparks?  ...Not that that's a completely telling test
anyway....

Do you run a fuel filter?
