have you checked the throttle body? had the same thing happen to a dodge avenger last week. like, as long as you feathered the gas, it would be fine, but as soon as you let off, it cut out. if you havn't check that.

IAVC get really dirty really fast in H22s, clean it.

Check the TPS angle, if it's too far in the negative it won't idle. Make sure your idle screw isn't too low. Swap the dizzy with a working dizzy to see what would happen.

Don't drive a car that doesn't run on all cylinders, it's very hard on the engine, and will tire itself out quickly.
