Mine (maintianed by-the-book for 167,000 miles) developed an intermittent stumble on acceleration. It finally set a CEL, apparently the well-worn plug wires were arcing. New plugs, plug wires and a distributor cap (and a somewhat lighter wallet) and all is now well. I don't doubt that a FP relay could do it also.
