Check your fuel injectors, that was my problem once. And check to see if your fuel main relay is going bad. Some stop working when the car gets warm enough.

Yeah you have some homework to do.

1. Check battery terminals
2. Replace the Fuel Main Relay (due for the fact that it's a cheap replacement)
3. See if you have and stored DTC's
4. Test drive
5. Then just save up and replace that distributor.

Good Luck on this one.

Do a fuel pressure test, your gonna need a fuel pressue test guage and a switch to open each injector manually.

I did it the ghetto way but you'll be 100% sure after. I pulled out the fuel injectors from the head but leave them in the fuel rail, point them out towards the front end and put plastic bottles infront of them so the gas shots inside Of them. Have someone crank the engine and check that all the injectors are spraying and spraying same amount too.

When I first bought my DX it did the same thing. Driving fine then out of nowhere it would fall on its face and start running really rough. Never would die, but wouldn't hardly pull itself. I'd have to pull over and kill the car for 10 minutes or so before I could drive on. It was the main relay going out. They're cheap, so that would be the first thing I'd try.

You need to get that old rotor off. Use a dremel tool and small cutting wheel and cut a little slot in it then pry with a screwdriver to break it off or squirt some pb blaster on it and pull it off with vise grips.
Fresh rotor may make a big difference.
