It starts okay when cold and only has a slight miss but as it warms up it starts to miss more frequently, bucks, and if hot and idling may cut off completely. If I'm on the highway it may lose 20 mph before it starts running well enough to maintain speed or accelerate. I have recently had the following replaced:

fuel tank
fuel pump
fuel lines and hoses
fuel sending unit
vacuum hoses
large and small injector seals

The shop also checked the vacuum advance and cleaned the injectors.

I emptied my bank account with the repairs so now it's time for me to find the problem. Any Ideas? The car has a Pertronics ignition.
