If you're having that much trouble I would check into sensors as well. Is the SES light on?

my 95 z did the same exact thing, and wouldnt even put a ses light on. i replaced plugs/wires/coil/and fianlly went threw a couple of optisparks. in the end it was just the optispark. i would have it looked at.
