Escort engine probs

My escort seems to have developed another problem. Now has 100,000 miles on the clock, 1.6 16v 98 finesse.

The car is fine to start with but once its warmed up the power will drop off at random intervals although the engine doesn't stall. The power drops off and comes back on in spurts so the car will kangaroo down the road, if the car is put in neutral and the gas pedal is pressed the engine pulses, the revs will climb and then drop off almost to the point of stalling.

If the engine is turned off and then back on the problem goes away for a while and then comes back.

After speaking to few people it has been suggested the coil could be on its way out and also the ignition module. The car isn't worth all that much so i don't want to have to spend a lot on it, for that reason i'd like to be fairly well "armed" if i have to take it to a garage.

Any ideas anyone?
