Default b16 acting wierd

well this morning i started my car and the idle started jumping and almost stalling at times sort of crazy . other symptoms that occurred was while driving the car started jerking for no reason.... i let of the gas and reapplied the throttle and it dissapeared. for now the car is fine, but i'm worried this might happen again and i don't want a major problem to occur. i was thinking that i should change my cap, rotor, and wires and see if it goes away. check engine light didn't go off either. i just wanted t know what your opinions are. so far all i did was change the fuel filter, but the problem is still there.

Just to clear things up your check engine light came on or was it on and did not come off...

no check engine light at all... i think i fixed the problem though... checked the iacv and it was clogged to hell... .... cleaned it up and all and it seems like the car is running fine again... hopefully everything is cleared up.

well the problem is still occurring... ... this is starting to **** me off... changed primary o2 sensor today hoping it will help and the car started bogging again while i was driving ... i was kind of scared it would shut off on me like it did 2 days ago...

when it happened i tried pressing the gas, and the rpm's weren't rising like the car wasn't getting any power, then it suddenly shut off. i was able to start the car, but everytime the car would shut off... after a few more times i was able to get the car running (lucky i guess) ...

for some reason no check engine light is popping up either.

next things to replace might be my dizzy, wires, and maybe fuel pump...

things done so far:
-replaced primary o2 sensor
-replaced fuel filter
-cleaned out iacv

sorry so long of a story, but i really want my car to stop doing this

sounds like a problem with the distributor. Maybe the coil.
