Default HELP 93 accord rough idle, jerking, ect...

Please help I have a 93 honda accord coupe 2.2 manual transmission. So heres the problem on day when driving down the highway my rpms went all jumpy and I had to pump the throttle to keep it alive. I got off the highway and it almost seamed like I ran out of fuel. I managed to get it stared and carry on home the rpms would just jump back and forth from 2000-2200 for a few minutes then it would get worse from like 2000-4000 and car would shake like crazy then die. Sometimes it will start right away other times it takes 10 or 15 min. Now on day 3 of this issue I quickly looked for vacuum leaks no noticeable ones but then again im.not a mechanic , made sure egr was opening and closing, changed rotor in distributor the cap looked good. Spark plugs are fairly new but they were burning oil because the seals on my valve cover were gone but I fixed that I havnt replace plugs yet since doing the gasket. Any help would be greatly apreciated oh I also disconnected front o2 sensor amd gave me a engine light and I made it about 5 min down the road to tim hortons as if it was running perfectly then the whole way back was a nightmare it was spuddering and shaking kinda like a person new to driving manual haha only way I can explain it.. it also stalled on the way home and I sat there for 5 min and pluged the 02 sensor back in then it started right up and got me home with no problems but the problem is still there PLEASE HELP

Is the check engine light on?
Two wire blue diagnostic connector from the passenger kick panel.
Jumper it with a paperclip/wire/conductive material.
Turn the ignition to II(ON)
Read codes from CEL.

sounds like your ignitor/ignition control module has gone bad .. pull another from the junkyard if you got one nearby

When you turn the car to II(ON) before starting do all the normal warning lights activate(turn on) prior to starting? If the CEL light is not coming on at pre-start, then the bulb may be burned out and you may have a fault but cannot tell without the bulb.

the check engine light could come on when it dies storing a code. just because it doesn't turn on it doesn't mean it doesn't have codes stored. if the check engine light turns on right before it dies you are never going to know its on as the check engine lights turns on and stays on when a car dies. you shouldn't be so naive and skip that check engine light diagnosis. you always want to do every!!!!!!! step no matter how stupid it is. you could end up in a wild goose chase blind. if you don't want peoples help what are you doing here? were trying to help you and you just blow us off

A 93 Accord probably needs EGR ports cleaned.
