Thumbs down my 1989 240sx s13 hatch is having the same problem

my hatch is having the same problems, i chanded the gas still nothing, i thought it was the fuel pump so i changed that the car ran fine for abuot 3 days then it started dying again, it conviently only dies when i have something to do, like every day on my way to work.
i have to fight it to get it to start, it randomly starts when i put it in reverse while holdign the key to the start position and poping the clutch itll start.
when i start the car the rpm goes crazy bouncing between 1 and 2rpm violently then the car warms up the rpm drops to where it should and deponding on how she feels like acting that day i can get 15 miles before she shuts of or i can bearly make it out of my drive way.
changed all the egi fuses.
when i got the car, i bought it from a neibor hood thats not too nice haha but i was only getting spanish radio stations through my sterio, so i took it out to find out that everything was rigged together HORRIABLE like wires spliced into other with painters tape holdign them together. so i just took the radio out when i was at work sitting in the parking lot. i got all the way home and the last 2 blocks from my house it died, the next day i went out to my car as usual started it went back inside to taky my shower and on my way out i heard my car die. i rushed out side to find out that my car is now diing at idle when it gets warm. once its warm i can not get it running again. it just wont start itll crank and crank, i was thinking it a sensor like cam shaft or something? its not a blown head gasket, i just dont understand, maby cap and rotor? but theres no oil in cap, could timing be off? any ideas?
