Help! 3.2 engine

The engine sputtering and refusing to rev is back again.

At first I thoght it was throttle linkage related. Not.

Then someone suggested the DME relay, and even tho I had replaced it less than a year ago, I put the old DME relay back in and...like magic...it seemed to run fine. Took a few short 10-15 mile trips and it was okay. Until this morning.

Then after going a few miles the sputtering and refusal to rev more than about 1100 rpm came back. It would start fine and idle fine but simply would not rev.

When I reached under the seat the DME relay felt a little warm so I put the newer one back in and the damn thing immediately ran fine.

So what the heck is going???

FYI: the engine is stock with only about 80K miles and the plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and ignition wires were recently replaced.
