Before you start ripping things apart, take a look at the air filter.

mine had the same prob, i replaced the whole dizzy as it happend to be one of the sensors inside it, was fine after that, mine was an 1800cc v6, try that should work

usually the dizzy fault is not starting up at all or cutting out completely, and when it does run it runs fine and smooth until it cuts out again. Like an on and off switch almost. I would be looking at the dizzy cap and rotor anyway as I had a similar rough running fault with my 6A13 SOHC engine.

If there has been any water near the engine the rear sparkplugs may be playing up. This used to happen to my wife's V6 Galant - it's a pain to remove the intake manifold, but while you're there, why not give everything a good clean out and replace the plugs!

Yep as above.
Plugs Leads Strip & clean inlet manifold
See what happens after that. Certainly won't hurt to do the above & probably needs doing anyway.

UPDATE - thanks for all the advise guys, turns out it was the crank angle sensor that was the problem, got it scanned today as got sick of doing it the slow way ruling out the options

nice! I had the crank sensor go crook on a 1600cc V6 Mirage also - unfortunately you have to remove the timing covers to gain access to the sensor - on the SOHC engine it's not too difficult.
