I recently changed my plugs, wires, rotor, cap and the car started to stammer/pulsate whenever it would idle or even be driving. I changed the distibutor and got a used one from a junkyard. it still did it. so then i changed the coil and but a new one in. that solved the problem till a couple of days ago and now she's starting to do it again. not as much but it is noticable. any ideas or similar problems...please let me know if you have an answer.

Check the rubber boot under the intercooler.
My 87 TC sat in the freakin yard for 2 years from doing the same thing. Come to find out the rubber boot had a 2" cut in it and the clamps were not tight. replaced it and tightened it down and its been fine since.

I'm BETTING thats the problem, was for me.

Jonesy is right. Also on the bottom inter cooler hose, it is very easy to fold the lip of the hose in on itself and it's hard to see. Same goes for getting the clamps off location.
