Did you put engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke/TDC before you replace the distributor? If not you need to reset the valve and ignition timing

Check and test all the following

Oxygen sensor
Catalytic converter
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol:
Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
