i had the same issues, but it was my distributor, sk8rmike came over one afternoon and helped me replace it, turns out the ignitor went bad. i would check that to make sure.

I've seen distributor wiring issues cause problems similar to yours on Preludes. Also, if yiou battery cables are not properly connected or are shot, or your battery is shot, under the proper load it could shut your motor down.
