i would check your slop in the timing chain, if the enginge has relatively high miles thats a deffinate possibility. remove the cap from the dist. place a socket and breaker bar on the crank, turn the breaker bar until rotor turns then turn it the other way until it moves again. the amount the breaker bar moves between the movements of the rotor is the slop.if it moves more than 3-5 degrees you might want to think about a timing chain being the problem.
