Default Accord H22a misfire. I cannot find the problem

OK, so heres the deal. I have a 95 accord with the H22a swap. Lately, it has been misfiring like a ****. It first started with the puttering out the exhaust. The as I would drive it, sometimes the rpm needle would bounce from 0-6000 RPM's as if it was bouncing off of some sort of spring. I would hit the gas and it would slow down slowly, then I would down shift only for it to putter and back fire even more! It even cut off on me a few times while driving. I swapped the internals from a good distributor into the existing shell I have. Even then, the car still sounded like ****. I disconnted the internal coil to run the external MSD blaster coil with the MSD SCI ignition box. I also changed the spark plugs and ran colder NGK plugs. I was told that It may be a bad injector.
What the hell could be the problem??? Assistance please.

does this always happen or is it only sometimes? do you have an internal or external coil?

in my experience i come to believe that its a bad dist. i had the same problem with my 90 accord with a h23. the green/yellow wire for me was making the rpm to jump, make the car lag under load. and it making it buck while driving. i did what you did with swapped internals for the dist but just go ahead and buy a new one

i have an internal coil and it happens only while the engine is heated. It generally runs fine from a cold start for about 15 minutes
