Rather than just replacing things semi-randomly, it's much more 
cost effective to try to figure out the actual cause. Start by trying to 
figure out whether the problem is FI or spark related. 

If you have a timing light, can you set it up so someone can watch 
it while you drive? If so, you should be able to see whether you 
start to get an irregular spark when the problem occurs. You don't 
have to watch the timing marks, just watch the flashes and see if 
they start to "miss."
