LXi model maybe? Fuel injected?
The spark plugs really old?
Those TEK brand dist rotors are weak and will sometimes short the spark thru to ground. Very cheap and easy to replace.
Do you have a multi meter to do sensor testing?
Have you checked the ECU for any codes?

oh sorry didn't see you are not a USA poster;
Why not go ahead and try some fresh spark plugs [NGK BPR5EY-11 I think] and a new dist rotor.
If you still have problems after that, post back for some more help.
