distributor is the common cause of failure on these cars. try swapping it out for a known good one and see what happens. Your symptoms sound like mine when my distributor went bad but this only happened when it was warm. When it was cold it would fire right up.

My ignition control module is what failed in my distributor

Clogged catalytic comverters are more notorious. Pull out a O2 sensor or disconnect the exhaust before the converter and see if symptoms improve. You need to do some more checks and report back.
