Car runs rough and sputters, stall when warm at low rpm and idle. Speedometer not working. Replaced, plugs, wires, etc. Cleaned EGR and ports, upper intake and throttle body housing.

The distributor goes out all the time in these cars. Do you have a check engine light on? if so lets use this guide to check the codes:

Can you remove the distributor cap and look for rust colored dust inside this is a sure sign the unit is going bad. Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
