So my engine hasn't been running right lately and it occasionally won't start or starts the dies right away. The idle goes between 800rpm and 600rpm ( like the needle bobs) and when i accelerate it doesn't really pick up pep until 4000prm. I'm thinking its a distributor problem but could it be something else?

Okay so my engine has been tough to start the past couple weeks. When I would spary starter fluid in the intake it starts up, but today it was not wanting to start with the starter fluid. It would start up then die and it did that a couple of times. Then I would start and idle at like 200! Rpm then die, I finally got it to start. This LEDs me to believe it's the fuel pump but I've always heard a fuel pump works or it doesn't. And this is an internment problem. So any suggestions on what would cause this to happen?
