i had a similar problem.
crank positioning sensor
idle air sensor
cam positioning sensor
distributor.
i changed just about every sensor and even my fuelpump before i took 4 minutes to change the distributor and fixed everything.

could be... i had spare sensors so i changed em all lol i dunno how much they cost.
theres the idle air controller. it could be very dirty and its housing could be as well... i was told to clean it since i have a lot of oil blow-by. ended up helping even though that wasnt my cause. could be yours though.
