Sounds like you have a big vaccum leak. The engine is running lean do to some kind of vaccum leak coming from something and its causing a random misfire.

Does it idle fine sometimes, and sometimes not? How much vacuum are you pulling at idle when this happens? Do you ever hear what sounds like a metallic hissing sound? If so, it could be a vacuum leak. I ran into the same with my car, and it was a bad injector insulator. The gray cup-like things that the injectors seat into. You may also want to inspect the O-rings on the injectors themselves, and make sure the injectors cannot rotate freely once installed.

The P/N for the insulators is 12571864.

Another cause could be an exhaust leak where the header mounts to the head. If there is a minor leak, then the exhaust gasses measured at the o2 sensor will not correspond with the air coming in at the MAF, and it will make your idle really suck. Regular driving will be fine because the of the increased gas velocity compared to idle. Just make sure all the header bolts are tightened properly.

Edit: oof! just looked at the date on the OP. So did you get it worked out? What was it after all?
