89 16v 900 problem: Distributor or EZK?...

I am confused with my '89 16v 900 S. I have had a long struggle with trying to identify the cause of poor idling. The engine will drop out & stall if the clutch is dipped (which is more than a little scary approaching roundabouts & junctions!). Also very heavy fuel consumption & lots of fumes.
I have replaced the fuel pump, AMM, FPR..... Latest attempt was adjusting the timing, which was way off. The car ran perfect for a few days then deteriorated again.
The car has EZK ignition system (no vacuum on distributor)..... My question is, does this point to
a) need to replace distributor?
b) need to replace EZK ecu?
Finally, if i put in a new distributor & reset the timing, does it prove that it is the EZK system that is faulty if it goes wonky again?.. Any other suggestions.... Please...
