There have been many comments on this board about platinums NOT being a good idea for this car.

Have you replaced your ignition wires? Do you know when they were last replaced? Looked at your engine running in a darkened garage (look for blue corona or sparking). This was one of the first things I did with my car when I got it and it REALLY needed them. They are expensive, but they last a long time if you take care installing and removing them with spark plug/cap changes. You can change the wires, cap and rotor yourself in a few hours and pocket quite a bit of the $600 - and KNOW that the job was done right.
