Stumbling problem fixed 200 1989

For several weeks my '89 GL would sometimes cut out, usually when I was doing 70-80 mph. It was idling fine, and I had no trouble starting it. During the last week, the problem became more frequent, occurring at lower speeds, and it actually died on me twice, although it restarted with no problem. I bought the 25 amp blade fuse kit from IPD, because it seemed like a cheap place to start, and because the problem was markedly worse on the last rainy day we had. After putting it in yesterday, the car drove fine, and I had no problems driving it to work this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed...
