This may sound stupid and you probably have done this already, but it bears asking. Did you do a tune up (ie, plugs, wires, FUEL FILTER, AIR FILTER and PCV valve)? The reason why I stress the 2 filters is that, while the air filter is usually changed to a K&N, the fuel filter is one of the most overlooked pieces during a DIY tune-up or DIY upgrade. In a 22 year old car there's bound to be a lot of shit at the bottom of the gas tank just waiting to be stirred up. I've seen alot of cars that still have the original fuel filter on it from the factory.

I'm not saying that this is your problem but it's also not something to be overlooked. Check you plugs for wear, discoloration and proper gap. Check (or have someone check) the resistance of your plug wires.
