So my engine hasn't been running right lately and it occasionally won't start or starts the dies right away. The idle goes between 800rpm and 600rpm ( like the needle bobs) and when i accelerate it doesn't really pick up pep until 4000prm. I'm thinking its a distributor problem but could it be something else?

Could be fuel filter is clogged, or the fuel pressure regulator is going out. Possibly the pump is weak as well. Easiest way to find out is test the fuel pressure before and after the regulator.
