    the prob could be form the injectors but you wont know until you get them fixed so id do that before you look at anything else. the only other thing i can think of is the timing. if the engines cold it may not notice it as much becuase the fuel mix is richer for the cold start but when it warms up it becomes a problem.. i had the same thing on a toyota and thats what it was.

    check the spark plugs are in the right firing order., this could very well be the problem.. the order is on the lid of the distributor cap.. i had this problem.. put them in the right order and ran like a dream..
    I wonder what those scales on the top right side of my posts do...

    i had that problem in mine rescently. at night go out start it up and pop the hood just enough to seee under. in pitch black if your problem is the same as mine u will see little blue sparks jumping where cables are faulty cuaisng it to miss fire. if so just go buy a set of new leads for $50. if it aint this check the distributor cap and spark plubs
    just a thought
