have you checked your Grounds?... mine did that exact same thing. i found that out after installing new sparks, spark wires and a distributer cap, and replacing the module on the distributor. the only problem was a loose ground.

Since your car is an 88 try a new fuel pump and filter if you havent done so or if there any signs of your pump being bad.. Maybe check your tps voltage as well.... some times they come loose and alter your set voltage. Just my 2cents.
