Car starts running bad when warm...

I was going to work this morning when all of a sudden i noticed when giving it gas it wouldnt move. So i put it in neutral to pull over and it dies. I start it up and it sounded like it was running on a couple cylinders. I check all my piping and it was all on good. So after awhile of looking around, i start it up and it sounded fine, so i go and right before i get to work, does it again, limped it to my parking lot. My work is about 10 minutes away, so its not like i have a far drive.

Do you guys think its a wireing problem, or a spark problem, maybe something else? I have new plugs waiting to be put in. I am gonna call my shop in an hour when they open.

Im about to just sell this thing and not worry about it anymore, but i love this car.

Sounds to me like your wiring harness is fried. Maybe you should sell the POS to someone else. Maybe a friend or something
