Whwn sitting still the engine runs smoothly , but when you accelerate in skips bad . When you are driving it , each time you shift gears it cuts out. I have changed the plug wires, plugs , fuel filter , air filter & checked the distributor and rotary button. The fuel pump even checks out. Any ideas as to what the problem could be ?

If everything checks okay, then you need to check the engine's compression. You may have low compression.
