somthins up with that. Id keep goin with your little list of things to do. To me it sounds like the spark is drying a bit, so i would start plugs and dizzy and coil if ya think it will help.

Mine used to do pretty much what your's does in that video, even while driving :S. I replaced the dizzy cap, rotor, plugs and leads and it got rid of the problem completely.
