Default RPM gauge jumpin and car jerkin

My car's rpm gauge keeps jumpin rpms and makin my car jerk. Sometimes my car even dies from it. I dont kno wut the hell it is, alot of yall said that I need to put a new distributor in it, so i did that but itz still jumpin like crazy sometimes. Its wierd, it'll do it for a lil bit, then run great. And sometimes the gauge will just jump and the car will b fine. Any Suggestions would b great, im gettin tired of this car. Thanx-K*J

Check your ICM wires. If they are not connecting securely you will get those symptoms with the car..
