It could be to do with the alarm / immobiliser (was that a standard fit on the car or aftermarket ?) Personally I am guessing the
distributor will be your problem, I searched high and low on mine trying to get to the problem of it cutting out randomly, I changed plugs, leads etc.... and all to no avail :( One day by chance I was talking to a mechanic mate of my brother in law who had come across the issue before and said it was a common fault with this model. On the underneath of the
distributor internals there is an electronic circuit board which has a silicone coating, apparently over time the silicone dries out from the heat of the engine and cracks develop which allows moisture to get in and causes corrosion which starts eating into the circuitry. It is not a cheap item to replace and at the time approx. 8 years ago it cost me AU$500 for an exchange reconditioned unit. Before you do anything else see if you can source another
distributor from somewhere and try that, that would also explain the miss you have been getting
