Could it be the sensor (I don't know what it call) near the oil filter, looks like O2 sensor, with 2 cable (color yellow/green and black)? Anyone know? Please. Thanks.

I did change the ignitor but the problem won't disappear. Also I switch the PS91 crane cams coil to LX91 crane cams coil, still not solve the problem.I haven't change the whole distributor cause is hard to find here.Anyone, knows what else could cause the problem? Thanks.

Could be main relay, cutting in and out sometimes sending fuel, sometimes not, but not sure. Is ECU throwing codes? CEL does not always come on even if ECU is throwing codes. If not main relay, then check rotor, cap, wires, and plugs. If that still doesn't help, then i would check injectors, they may be good when cold, but when warmed up, injectors may fail, and cause you're car to run poorly, and look for possible causes for injector problems, like fuel filter or poor connections. Just my .02. Good luck.

Man,still haven't figure out what the problem is. But one thing I notice recently when I'm going downhill or uphill the problem seems to get worse. Is it possible because of the position of the car can influence how the car parts working? If it does,does anyone know what possibly the problem? thanks.

I just worked on a pontiac with this problem. The injectors were very dirty. you'll get cut out underload after warmup. Try some sea foam you should notice improvement. But if your car continues to cutout try some different injectors. Either that or just get yours cleaned. Also question? does it heat up any when this cutting out occurs?
