if this helps anyone....a follow up.
After throwing all kinds of money at this issue, i was correct in that it was spark related.
I ended up buying new plug wires, cap, rotor, playing with timing, ect.
As of now, the problem is 100% cured.
Turns out that i had my plugs gapped WAY to low......025......I re-gapped some new plugs to .040 and pow....problem solved! Also, note that initially when i put the plugs in gapped at .025 the car was fine but it turned ugly quick....almost undriveable.
SO, if anyone is having this issue, look first at your coil, cap/rotor/ wires and plugs, if your car was running OK, before this issue occurred that is most likely your problem, one of the above.
Btw, my bronco was doing the same thing, and it turned out to be bad wires.
