A few things that may cause your problem.

1. Did you also replace the distributor rotor when you replaced the cap? You should.
2. Check and make sure all electrical wiring to the distributor, cap, and coil are good and tight.
3. Check fuel pressure on your fuel rail making sure that you have enough fuel supply.
4. Check for vacuum leak on the intake manifold and the throttle body.
5. Check your timing to ensure it is at 8 degrees BTDC.
6. Check idle speed. Locate your throttle cable at the throttle body. Adjust the tightness of the throttle cable by adjusting the two screws holding the cable.
