What tests have you done so far.

Id start by checking the TPS sensor.

Any CEL codes?

No CEL

I know my Water pump is going bad but that cant be it.

While on highway rpm will drop and comeback up. Like yaking the car..

I'll check the tps sensor right now. To be truthful I dont know what a tps sensor is but i got a Manual so...

I dont think its the tps looks new but dont have nothing to test it with. Get new plugs and wires tomorrow.

What are the signs of a bad fuel pump?

Does it cause the rpms to drop on the middle of the highway and act crazy then go back to normal?

Dude I would bet its your distributor, they are horrible on these cars. If you have an internal coil replace your dizzy from distributor king and buy one with and external coil. You can even get the JDM one an convert it to external fairly simply.

So its my distributor? Cause i can hear my fuel pump Turn on.
Could it be a relay or Bad plug wires cause mine look okay its just small little cracks on the wire by the dizzy.

Its just i dont want to buy a whole new distributor and thats not it.

Today got new plugs. Engine cranks better. So then the engine runs for about three-four minutes then dies.

Now
-Spit aliitle black slug looking water out the exhaust.
maybe the cat is choking the engine....Doesnt even sound right.

Its like it want to run but dies
-The rpm would go to 0 and Catch itself and get back up.
