Default what should i do???

I am posting this to see if anyone can help me with my problem, i have a 93 lx with the 5.0. The car starts great but shortly after starting in it seems to start missing or feels like several cylnders arent firing...i have changed plugs, wires and mulltiple sensors...i have narrowed it down to distributor or fuel pump.... what should i do???

If it starts fine it shouldn't be the distributor should it?
Timing maybe?

no your problem sound like more than that.

You could try checking the distributor but i would think that would affect your starting also. However i dont claim to be any expert.
