I ran into the exact same problem with my car a couple of weeks ago. It
was mystifying: I was hopping up and down for about three days thinking
of evermore complicated things that could account for the problem (teeth
missing on the timing gear, invisible carbon tracks in the electrics...)
Eventually though, a can of dry-gas went into the tank, and the trouble
cleared right up. It's about a $2 investment, and it sounds like your
car might be a candidate for it anyway -- especially if it's been
sitting around without a full tank of fuel.
Please let me know how things turn out.
