Its probably worth checking all aspects; Plugs clean and adjust gaps if required, leads make sure the leads and connectors are all clean and in good condition, then distributor cap and rotor, then finally the king lead and back to the spark coil again making sure there clean and in good condition.

the distributor was changed but still the same problem. on this model there is no falt finder socket for computer as it is older model so we are just guessing
