    even tho it starts with that dizzy and you replaced cap doesn't mean it might not be the problem. There is som sensors inside the distributor that can go bad. At least try another distributor or borrow someones' just to test it.

    well i had a problem similar and it turned out to be the throttle was closing too much and choking out the engine and it would die randomly. i also had low idle and ran rich too. hows your idle?

    huh?? your throttle is designed to close completely. your IACV is probably bad also.

    compression test, CPB test.( cylnder power balance.)
    check fuel injectors for a faulty one or clogs, check fuel pressure, did you get the spark plug wires mixed up? , check timing.

    main relay don't usually make the car die after its running, it just wont start period. if it does it when your foot is off the gas its probably the idle air control valve (on the back of your Intake manifold). if it does die while you are driving and you are on the gas more than likely your distributor is bad.
