mine did that and it needed a valve adjustment but it could also be a vacuum leak or cooling problem

Did you check the wire connections on your igniter? Sometimes they get loose.

Change you spark plugs and check your timing

I had the same problem for 60,000 miles. Unfold the passenger floorboard, and look at the ECU's bubble to check if its throwing a code. The LED blinking sequence should tell you the code (i.e. if it blinks twice in a row ..breif pause, and then three times the code will be #23).
Mine was throwing more than 1 code. The main one I remember was
Code #43 - Fuel System, but the problem turned out to be my O2 Sensor Signal. It was grounding out, because of my voltmeter setup. ECU ran in closed loop between 2800 - 4000 rpm. After 4000 rpm the engine would run fine.
Sound familar?
