If this started after replacing the timing belt, I would look for a broken tooth on the crankshaft gear, If not, I would disconnect the battery, remove the ECM, and open it up for a visual inspection. I just went through this with my 96 camry and found a blown electrolytic capacitor. At less than a dollar to replace the capacitor, I wish I had gone here first. Turns out the average life on electrolytics is 18 years. If you are not familiar with electronics, google bad capacitors so you know what to look. Make sure to look at the tops and bottoms for any bulging or leakage.
