90 Stanza Idle issues/bucking

Ok, here we go again.. after fixing a previous problem, now I'm stuck on something else...
Got a 90 stanza, manual tranny, 4 cyl

In the last couple of weeks it started bucking, especially on decceleration... progressively got worse... it has always idled funny, but now it surges and will idle so low it almost goes dead.. today was first day it actually tried to die on me in first gear taking off... as long as I got the rpm's up, it would go fine.. clutch shifts fine and everything else seems to be in order...


Only two things I can think of are the TPS and the oil in the distributor (yes the seal is bad and has had oil in it for some time now)... Gonna clean the distributor out tonight and check things out there... my question is if the next step would be to look at the TPS or maybe O2 sensor?

Thanks for any ideas you all can give....
