Default is my distributor fucked?

ok here is the deal. my car runs. but at around 2-3grand it feels all slow, then the power will jump up (like VTEC) to where it should be. someone was telling me that this may be caused by the pickups or something inside, true?

its not the actual dizzy. The dizzy is electrical, ,on/off, not maybe on maybe off. It either works or doesnt. Its something that is variable, maybe a TPS, fuel pressure. If you are unsure of the plugs they can't hurt to get new ones whether they fix it or not. It could be timing too.
