so please someone help me out before i go out and buy a new distributer.

Did you check all the spark plugs? Are the spark plugs good? Maybe an injector. Does it feel kinda wabbley while it's running?

It could be your ignition coil as well, although that is pretty rare to go bad. In all honesty it is likely your distributor.
