does it run fine when it's operating at a cold temperature? if so it's definitely your ignition module or coil or BOTH. the module and coil warm up after about 5-10 minutes depending on weather. and if they're not properly working then the symptons you should have are... missing throughout driving range, idles erratically, shuts off erratically and SOMETIMES wont start.
if it idles erratically from startup then it could be a handful of things anywhere from electrical, vacuum, to a generic tune up. check your spark plugs and distributor/wires. if they're fine then go get an engine diagnostic. sounds like your ignition module to me.
let us know and good luck!
