If this only happens when engine is hot, you most likely are suffering from "thermal" (heat related) failure.
If it is more of a hesitation, I would test the ignition coil. If it stalls, the crankshaft position sensor.
Your coil can be tested with a manual outlining the procedure and a meter. You test for primary/secondary resistances.
Both of the above components can suffer from thermal failure and are primary suspects.
If both of those check out, the #3 suspect is the "camshaft position sensor" located inside of the distributor.
And with all of the above advice, you absolutely must verify fuel delivery WITH A GAUGE. Verify your readings with factory spec.
