Default '92 Surges, stalls

My '92 is surging, almost stalling, but not dying. Give it gas and it hesitates, then all of a sudden it will kick in and go like mad. Next time I drive it, it is fine. Does not put up any codes. Have had the Opti, plugs, wires, and fuel filter replaced. Injectors have been cleaned and test fine.
Help! Any ideas?

ICM and coil if they are original - replace them.

My 92 actually did this and eventually died on the way home one day. A buddy mentioned that I should try replacing them. Car ran great until the waterpump took out the opti.
