You may want to add another ground wire. That is what I have been doing and it usually cures the problem.

Good luck, I had one of these kick my ***. Check all the ground straps on the engine and chassis, there are a few. Try new spark plugs. Make sure you have a good strong battery. Try hooking up a battery charger, if it fixes the problem you may just have a so-so battery. The one I had was so bad the customer traded it in before I had a chance to finally repair it.
