Engine Keeps Cutting Off, pissed off & broke Options

[Jen]

I've had a problem with my car for the past month, and nothing we have had done seems to work.

The problem:
- Very low, and rough idle.
- Stalling.
- The engine cuts out no matter if I am stopped at a redlight, or if I am accelerating.

It can be fine one day, but terrible the next. If it cuts off, I can wait a few minutes and it comes back on. If I let it sit for 30+ minutes, it will work for the rest of the day and possibly the next. When it cuts off it's very random, and it forces me to not go to work, or I am late to work. I'm about to lose my job.

Things I have had done:
- I've had the injectors cleaned or something.
- New fuel pump.
- Replaced PVC Valve.
- Replaced IAC Valve.

Things it's not:
- The battery, or connections.
- The alternator, or connections.

Now they're telling me the distributer. Any other ideas? Discuss.

I totally put this in the wrong section, could one of the mods please move it?

Seeing that you've had most of the diagnostic problems fixed, I'm suspecting the distributor.

That, or whoever replaced your fuel pump dropped their ratchet into your tank. But I don't think that's gonna show up on your diagnostics.

Does the car seem weak at all when it does run? I managed to get water into one of my spark plug wells some time ago, ruining my #3 plug wire, and making the car run like a go-cart. I never got a CEL, but it could be worth a look.
