Engine Keeps Cutting Off, pissed off & broke Options

[Jen]

I've had a problem with my car for the past month, and nothing we have had done seems to work.

The problem:
- Very low, and rough idle.
- Stalling.
- The engine cuts out no matter if I am stopped at a redlight, or if I am accelerating.

It can be fine one day, but terrible the next. If it cuts off, I can wait a few minutes and it comes back on. If I let it sit for 30+ minutes, it will work for the rest of the day and possibly the next. When it cuts off it's very random, and it forces me to not go to work, or I am late to work. I'm about to lose my job.

Things I have had done:
- I've had the injectors cleaned or something.
- New fuel pump.
- Replaced PVC Valve.
- Replaced IAC Valve.

Things it's not:
- The battery, or connections.
- The alternator, or connections.

Now they're telling me the distributer. Any other ideas? Discuss.

I totally put this in the wrong section, could one of the mods please move it?

yes, engine codes. all of them said the distributor. but they've ran a diagnostic before (three/four times) and it was always very different.

unfortunately i do not have my car at the moment. it's still at the shop getting looked at. they keep saying it's the distributor. because they this is the fifth time i've taken it up there, i'm only going to be paying for the part. but the part is expensive. i'm so frustrated.

it's only at the shop because it broke down saturday, and i called them cussing at them and screaming. so they towed it for free.

if/when i get it back, my friend and i are going to check it out. i'm trying to get a new car but i just spent close to $1000 getting my car fixed with things that weren't even the problem in the first place.
