Default Wbat is this problem, distirbutor or another sensor?

Well again, another thing goes wrong. Guys I have the worst luck with cars. Listen to this.. Today in school, i had to go home and get my "work boots" since I wore tennis shoes, and I couldnt take this test, and so I went home, and my car bogged the whole way home. It felt like it was just missing very bad, but I will get to that in a minute. So I made it home, and then got my step dads truck and on the way, the upper radiator hose busted. so then I finally got to school and got a 190 out of 200 on the test, 2nd highest in class, some country bumpkin got a 199 out of 200.

Now my problem is this. As I refereed to up there, on the way home, my car was missing very bad. The RPMs on the tach would jump drastically up and down, and the car was like dieing out. I dont know what is wrong. The other day, my distributor wasnt firing, and we tried my 89 integra ECU and it started firing. So we assumed the ECU was bad. But now my car is missing and we arent sure if its the distributor or if something else could of went bad. We are kinda leaning towards Coil.

This is what we have replaced, plugs, wires, fuel filter, ignitor(have a few of htem).

The car was bogging bad and jerking and ****, I dont know what the problem could be other than distributor. But I am wondering if my distributor is more than likely completely fried or just coil maybe? I mean I am still sparking, it just misses bad as its driving. I need some Honda expertese on this.

So all in all, I just need a run down of what I should look for, and **** like that, I mean tomorrow I am ******* with it all day till I get it fixed. What all could cause it to do this?

Sorry if this post is kinda confusing I am just having a rough day, and need sleep.

CimorelliCRX, it could also be your rotor. Why don't you replace that now since your going to be replacing the ignitor anyway.
Just a suggestion.

I am guessing there is no check engine lights??
A few days ago me and my friends did a swap in his car b18a in a 89 DX and we looked at my wiring so we colud double check and I guess we had pulled a wire loose and the car was basiclly doing the same thing and it was just a loose wire and it was saying the No.1 cyl postion sensor was f**ked up. Well I checked the wiring and it turned out fine and plug it back in and it ran perfect after that.

I have seen alot of older rotors start to come loose and its like its wobbling inside the cap causing a missfire.

Well it was a loose wire.. But now its fine, till I nail the gas and the car jekrs a little. Like when I hit second and scratch hard racing or something, the cars power like shuts off but keeps going. Like a bad ground somewhere. It jerks back, everything bogs for a second, my radar detecter, stereo and **** cut off, but then comes back on like a split second later. Like its a bad ground somewhere, then I keep going. lol I mean it seems fine, I just dont know where to look for this problem.
