Ditch the Bosch and upgrade to a newer Nippendenso from a later model car. This requires changing the lower bracket and the wiring a little.
Finally, make sure all of the connectors and grounds are clean, greased and tight. Turbo Omnis eat their wiring overtime due to cheap components and poor heat management under the hood.
