Post CRX running ruff! help?

I have a 1991 Honda CRX dx with a D15B2...so the problem im having is when i drive the car around 3500/4000rpm it like starts to sputter and my tach goes krazy swaying from 4000 to like 8000rpm..its not to bad while in neutral but the tach is still noticeably off. i thought it was the dizzy cap, so i replaced that and it fixed it for a little then went right back to how it was running...i guess maybe its missin or a short.. Can use some help Thanx!!
