If you replaced the plugs and wires you should know the engine has a distributor cap. The coil is in the bottom of the distributor.Keep in mind it could be an injector instead of an ignition problem.Is the check engine light on and have you checked for trouble codes ?

replace the accelerator cable (moisture gets in the vinyl coated cable, and cable rusts and sticks, you can possibly spray wd-40down the inside of cable, and on the spring and shaft coming off the plenum/throttle body(cable connects to this on motor side of cable) this may get you thru for awhile, but eventually the cable will breakcable
Check engine light on
I worked in an auto garage many years ago and learned at that time the check engine light meant nothing other than to drum up business. I learned to shut it off in my truck. I have heard recently it doesn't seem to mean much. An example, a friend brought her vehicle in and they checked the check engine light on the computer. The computer said the vehicle was misfiring. Duh I think everyone knew that. So it shows the computer was of no help. I wouldn't trust it.
