Sorry forgot to mention replaced coil as well. Main reason we think it's a distributor is why would the problem go away with a little pressure on the distributor then come right back when pressure is removed?
I'm assuming that this is an electronic dist, take the cap off again, and check for loose or corroded connections inside the dist where the electronic control unit is wired up. When you put pressure on the dist and it runs better, its changing something. Perhaps a loose connection.

Is your model # 5.0GLPBYC?
